Floreat Underground Power Program

Power Project: Western Power (Floreat WA)

In 2018, Cape was awarded two packages of work, as part of the Town of Cambridge’s $40 million underground power program – Floreat East and Floreat West, encompassing 1781 homes, 57km of horizontal directional drilling, removal of 965 power poles and the installation of 597 street lights.

Cape has been supporting Western Power’s Underground Power Program since its inception in 1996. The Program involves the replacement of overhead power lines in established areas with underground power infrastructure. Over the past 23 years, Cape has completed more than 25 projects including an estimated 7,000 streetlight installations, 15,000 home connections and 840km of underground power cable.
