EXCELLENCE AWARDS AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY EMERGING NEW SMALL BUSINESS CATEGORY Davis Hart Electrical Solutions Davis Hart Electrical Solutions Davis Hart Electrical Solutions undertakes electrical work for a broad range of clients including health, defence, education and retail. As a newly established company with eight employees, it was identified that continuous improvement across all areas of the business would be critical to both continued growth and profitability. To ensure the business could be considered for government work, a quality management system was established and second-party accredited.

WORK HEALTH & SAFETY BEST PRACTICE CATEGORY Fredon (ACT) Fredon (ACT) Fredon’s management system is credited to third-party certification approval for WHS, quality, and environmental management systems. For each of these, the delivery is the responsibility of the project team, in conjunction with Fredon’s HSEQ Manager. Working with the site teams and making improvements through internal auditing and training are crucial. A specific emphasis has been placed on building a rapport with apprentices, giving them the confidence to raise issues and ask questions.

DOMESTIC RESIDENCE SMALL CATEGORY EPL Electrical Barton Heritage Build – New Home EPL completed the design and construct of the electrical and automation fit-out for this heritage development project. EPL prepared the electrical and lighting designs using CAD software, which proved invaluable as the complex project included a high level of automation and features such as a large in-ground pool, custom light fittings, and a solar installation to reduce electricity costs and minimise the home’s carbon footprint.

INDUSTRIAL SMALL CATEGORY Shepherd Electrical The Canberra Hospital Building 1 Chiller Replacement As a part of the replacement of two high voltage chillers with two new low voltage chillers at Canberra Hospital, Shepherd Electrical installed a new high voltage switchboard and two 750kVA transformers, which convert the two 3.3kV power supplies to 415 volts to supply the HV switchboards. Shepherd Electrical also completed the DC power to the HV switchboard and all controls. Primary and secondary injection testing, and relay programming, was then conducted in-house by Shepherd’s engineering team.
