Walliston Primary School
Switchboard Replacement & Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade
NJP Electrical Workspace
Completed
January 2026
NJP Electrical Workspace delivered a staged switchboard replacement and electrical infrastructure upgrade at Walliston Primary School for Programmed Facility Management, under Safeway Construction, within a live operational school environment.
The project involved modification of the existing Site Main Switchboard and full replacement of the Senior Block Building Main Switchboard, including new submains, underground reticulation and complete reconnection of existing circuits.
The upgrade was completed to increase available electrical capacity and allow for the installation of additional split system air-conditioning units across the school. All works were undertaken during the December–January shutdown period to ensure zero disruption to school operations.
All works were carefully staged during the school’s December–January shutdown period, ensuring continuity of essential services and zero disruption to operations.
