Overview

The Her Way Initiative, led by Bayside Council, aimed to enhance decorative lighting in King St Mall and three other locations over a five-month period, with a focus on improving safety, visual amenity, and civic pride, particularly for women and girls navigating the area at night. The project was partially funded by Transport NSW to ensure the safety of public spaces near transport hubs, creating a welcoming environment for all members of the community.

Bayside Council, overseeing 29 suburbs in Sydney’s South East, serves a diverse population of approximately 182,000 residents. The Council were looking to implement lighting solutions that were not only visually appealing but also energy-efficient, robust, and compliant with Australian Standards (AS1158, AS4282).

The design had to be adaptable for different events, inclusive of all genders and ages, and capable of ensuring safe lighting conditions at all times. The lighting strategy featured a luminous veil to create a warm atmosphere, pole lighting to improve pedestrian safety, and RGBW LED lighting to enhance the plaza’s ambiance.

Bayside Council chose Elec Comm for our innovative design and proven ability to execute projects in live community environments. The project successfully addressed the Council’s original concerns, fostering a sense of civic pride and encouraging greater use of the area at night.

Overview

Elec Comm were engaged by Cumberland City Council to improve night-time safety and walkability in three key locations within Cumberland City Council, with a focus on enhancing the security of women and girls. To achieve this, we would design, install and maintain functional lighting that would eliminate dark spots and ensure well-lit pathways and public spaces, thereby reducing safety risks. In addition to improving safety, the project also aimed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the areas, incorporating creative lighting solutions such as fairy lights on trees to make the streets more attractive and inviting. This was intended to encourage more people to use these public spaces after dark, creating a more pleasant and secure environment.

The successful implementation of the lighting design significantly improved both safety and visual appeal in the targeted areas, particularly benefiting women and girls. By addressing the community’s concerns, the project not only created a safer environment but also fostered a sense of civic pride. Our ability to deliver high-quality results without disrupting daily activities further demonstrated our expertise in managing projects in active public spaces.

Overview

Elec Comm were commissioned to replace the outdated luminaires and control system of the rooftop barometer at Mirvac’s office building. The project involved integrating the new system with existing daylight and pressure sensors, as well as the building’s BMS. The old lantern, which had been decommissioned due to poor luminous intensity control, and the failed standalone luminaires, were fully replaced to meet Australian Standard AS4282 for obtrusive light.

The 25m high lantern, designed as part of the KENS Project by JPW Architecture, includes eight horizontal digital pressure indicators that display real-time atmospheric pressure. As the barometric pressure changes, a series of lights are activated to show pressure levels, with a rippling effect created when the pressure changes. This visual display was previously unreliable due to early LED technology but was revitalised with modern, energy-efficient LEDs that offer longer lifespan and easy maintenance.

The upgraded system enhanced both the functionality and aesthetics of the rooftop barometer, improving reliability and compliance with lighting standards. Additionally, the new system’s smart controls enable easy repurposing of the lantern for special events, ensuring long-term flexibility and energy efficiency.

Overview

Selected for our expertise in the education sector, this client contacted us to upgrade their air conditioning systems. To meet the project brief, a comprehensive electrica infrastructure modernisation was undertaken, including the installation of a new substation and 7 new switchboards. 36 new air conditioning units and a steadfast infrastructure now ensures optimal learning temperatures throughout all the school’s classrooms.

Overview

We worked closely with this client to design and construct the electrical and communication backbone for this boutique office space for the head office operation.

This comprehensive project included the installation of new switchboards, sub-mains and over 400 data points and power outlets. The incorporation of floor boxes, security and AV systems, further added to the depth and sophistication of this remarkable project.

What sets Elec Comm apart is their unwavering dedication to understanding our unique needs and vision. They worked closely with us to design and construct the electrical and communication backbone of our entire business.

“Their ability to seamlessly integrate our ideas into practical solutions was impressive.”

What’s equally important to us is the trust we have in our relationships. Throughout the project, they consistently delivered on their promises, adhered to timelines, and maintained open communication. This level of trust is invaluable when undertaking a project of this scale. It’s clear that they take immense pride in their work, and it shows in the final results.

Overview

In anticipation of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, we were commissioned to upgrade inadequate lighting that fell short of competition standards (below 200 lux). The lighting concept demanded an arrangement surpassing 700 lux, prompting a meticulous design process. We installed 4 x 35m poles, each equipped with footings and brackets capable of accommodating the load of 50 new LEDs, alongside 24 units of the high- performance 1500W Rippon Mk2 LED Sports Lights.

Overview

Our team was engaged to offer a turnkey, uniform solution to upgrade the lighting across 50+ aged care facilities in NSW.

We provided an aesthetically pleasing, energy saving solution which could be implemented under facilitation constraints, whilst complying with AS1680.

Our design included specific solutions to match existing product footprints and locations.

Our pre and post assessments coupled with thorough project management delivered an efficient multi-site installation, waste recycling and a 45% energy reduction.
