Downer Engineering enlisted the expertise of Fredon to play a pivotal role in the Design and Construction of a fully Electric Bus Depot that operates entirely on Renewable Energy.

This establishment stands as Queensland’s first 100% Electric Bus Depot, aligning with the State Government’s ambitious initiative to super-charge the delivery of Zero-Emission vehicles.

Fredon undertook a comprehensive scope of works, including:

• HV, LV, Earthing, and Civil/Structural Design
• Establishing a new 11kV Connection (LCC)
• Installation of an 11kV/415V Substation
• Installation of an Outdoor Main Switchboard (MSB)
• Installation of 150kW DC Fast Chargers
• Installation of a 700kVA Bio-Diesel Standby Generator
• Installation of Dynamic Charge Management Systems
• Installation of all associated Communications, Control, LV, and HV cables

This ambitious project reached successful completion in May 2023.

Fredon’s Project Manager, Azmath Rahmatulla, remarked, “Fredon’s extensive experience in the Design, Construction, and Commissioning of EV Chargers has positioned us as a favourable delivery partner to several Bus Operators across Australia.
