PROJECTS Sydenham Metro Upgrade Underground Civil Supplies was successful in the award of the PVC package for the Sydenham Metro upgrade including conduits, bends, fittings and all associated consumables. Our client was responsible for a new train station in Sydenham as well as a new concourse over the station with lifts and stairs to each platform including the two new Sydney Metro platforms.

BENDS Product Range & Specifications UCS are an industry leader in the supply of electrical and communications PVC conduit bends. UCS has the capability to supply both standard and custom bends with fast turn around times. Bends are manufactured in both foam wall and solid wall conduit Bends we supply: Size Degree Radius 20mm 25mm 32mm 40mm 50mm 63mm 80mm 100mm 125mm 150mm 200mm 6 11.25 15 22.5 30 45 60 90 150 300 450 600 750 800 1000 1200 1500 1830 2000 BENDS Radius and Angles HOW TO MEASURE RADIUS The radius of a bend is measured from the 90° point not including the socket, through to the centre line of the conduit. The radius is also equal to the offset distance as shown by the dotted line. When ordering a bend make sure you are ordering by the “BEND ANGLE” as shown here. “BEND ANGLE” = 180 - “ANGLE X” CALCULATING ANGLES

PROJECTS Chichester Solar Gas Hybrid Project UCS recently supplied PVC conduits, bends, fittings and consumables to the Chichester Solar Gas Hybrid Project in Western Australia. The EPC contract (worth $165 million) was awarded to Downer by Alinta Energy to build the 60MW Solar Farm and supporting power infrastructure at the Fortescue Metals Group’s (Fortescue) Chichester Hub iron ore operations. The project includes the construction of a new solar farm, as well as a ~60 kilometre transmission line linking the Fortescue’s Christmas Creek and Cloudbreak mining operations with Alinta Energy’s Newman gas-fired power station and 35MW battery facility. This renewable energy will supply up to 100% of daytime operations. UCS was able to manufacture and transport the bends and fittings across the country for the 3 electrical substations and solar farm portion of this major infrastructure project.

PROJECTS M4 Smart Way Client: Seymour Whyte The M4 Smart Motorway project will see construction of the state’s first smart motorway, introducing intelligent technology to Sydney’s roads that will help manage traffic congestion and prevent crashes. Both stages of the project will involve realignment, extension and widening of ramps with ramp meters and ramp control signs at Burnett Street, Coleman Street and Cumberland Highway for Stage 2 and Mamre Road for Stage 3; plus installation of maintenance bays, vehicle detection loops and upgrades to existing power and communications infrastructure. Variable message signs, traffic sensors, CCTV, and speed and lane use signage will also be installed as part of the project between Parramatta and Penrith. Stage 2 and Stage 3 form part of the overall 36km stretch of the M4 Smart Motorway.
