When extreme weather like floods affect strata buildings the electrical supply systems are at risk.
Now the
Queensland Department of Energy &
Water Supply have produced a discussion paper addressing two of the
recommendations from the Queensland Flood Insurance Commission's (QFCI) Final Report relating to improving the resilience of high
rise buildings located in flood hazard areas specifically focusing on electricity distribution network systems inside an electricity customer’s premises.
The QFCI noted that substations located in
basements of high rise buildings in the Brisbane central business district
flooded during the 2011 floods, ceased operating and remained inoperative
for lengthy periods of time. This caused major expense and disruption for
many building owners and tenants,” said the Department of Energy &
Water Supply.
To view a
