Pit Repair – Exhibition Street

As part of an ongoing maintenance program Citipower/Powercor is upgrading and structurally reinforcing many of its underground cable pits within Melbourne's CBD. Multiworks was engaged by Citipower/ Powercor to rectify the Exhibition Street pit following cracking and subsidence to its lid. Upgrade works were complex due to the pit’s location within high density areas, their confined size and pre-existing structural issues. The works were staged during shutdowns and involved crews operating 24 hours per day to access, reinforce and reinstall pit lids over a weekend period. Multiworks’ effective collaboration with key stakeholders and Citipower/Powercor ensured the works were completed over the planned weekend shutdown period.
