Electrotec carried out the full electrical fit-out for the upper gymnasium repairs and refurbishment at a school in Auckland, covering both general electrical services and the electrical support for all new mechanical plant. The project involved two new distribution boards, a full lighting and emergency lighting upgrade across the gymnasium, pool changing facilities and first-floor staff areas, and new power and data reticulation throughout the building.

Scope of Works

• Switchboards & submains — Installation of new DB-B and DB-B11 distribution boards, fed via new 3-phase submain cabling from the existing site main switchboard, including surge protection and balanced circuit loading across all phases
• Lighting — Full LED lighting upgrade across the gymnasium, weights room, changing rooms, pool floor and first-floor staff areas, with zoned emergency lighting circuits controlled via a Legrand 8-channel phase-sensing emergency lighting system
• Emergency & handrail lighting — Twinspot emergency lighting to escape routes and perimeter fencing,
  plus fire-rated cabling to integrated LED handrail lighting with dedicated battery back-up
• Power & data — New power and data outlets throughout the gymnasium, weights room, staff workroom
  and offices, including WAP outlets, catenary wiring for perimeter data reach, and a new Cat6A structured cabling installation
• Communications — Assessment and extension of the incoming fibre backbone, with new outlets to security, fire panel and lift systems
• Mechanical electrical services — Power connections and control wiring for all new mechanical plant,
  including extract fans, radiant heaters, window actuators and HVAC units, coordinated directly with the mechanical services design
• Future provisions — Ducting, cable pits and spare cabling left in place for future carpark gate motor power and access control
