Full Electrical Wiring Installation for The Australia Post Strathfield Project
Lightspeed Electrical, contracted by BTF Projects undertaking the Australia Post Strathfield contract – Full Electrical Wiring Installation.
Lightspeed Electrical successfully completed a challenging and strategic electrical fit-out for Australia Post Strathfield, working in close collaboration with BTF Projects. Our goal was to deliver a premium-quality result while meeting strict deadlines and maintaining operational continuity. This wasn’t just a surface-level upgrade—it was a complete redesign and relocation of key facility spaces, including staff amenities, training rooms, meeting rooms, and gaming rooms.
With only eight weeks to deliver, timing was everything. Every aspect of the project required careful planning to avoid disruption to one of Australia’s busiest mail processing centres. The most significant challenge we faced was maintaining Australia Post’s 24/7 operations throughout the project. Mail delivery doesn’t stop, so neither could we. By coordinating closely with site managers and planning each phase in detail, we kept the project moving forward efficiently—with zero interruptions to productivity.
The project kicked off with a complete strip-out followed by the installation of all-new data, power, and lighting cables, all delivered to the highest professional standards. Throughout the process, client-driven changes were frequent, requiring Lightspeed Electrical to remain flexible, constantly adjusting plans on the fly to keep everything aligned with the evolving scope. One of the standout features of this fit-out was the installation of a monitored emergency lighting system, paired with architecturally designed pendant lighting and intricate feature lighting.
These lighting elements weren’t just functional—they were design pieces that had to be installed with precision to achieve the right effect. Every fitting, bracket, and cable had to be perfectly aligned to meet both aesthetic expectations and strict safety regulations.
Stage two of the Australia Post Strathfield project involved the complete strip-out of the old kitchen, and we were given just a 12-hour window to isolate the area and make it safe before the demolition crew arrived. This wasn’t a straightforward task—the kitchen had multiple circuits coming from various directions across the facility. Lightspeed Electrical took a thorough, systematic approach to identifying each active cable, confirming exactly where it ran and what it powered.
Every step was checked and double-checked to guarantee safety, not just for our team, but also for the Australia Post staff working nearby. By methodically securing each cable, we ensured that the demolition team could move in on time with complete confidence that the space was electrically safe.
Throughout the project, frequent design modifications were introduced, requiring continuous adjustments to plans and schedules. Lightspeed Electrical remained fully adaptable at every stage, responding quickly to changes without missing deadlines. The team successfully installed all required electrical services, including data outlets, power points, recessed floor boxes, automated control wiring, and monitored emergency lighting.
Despite the evolving nature of the fit-out, the combination of technical expertise, experience with large commercial spaces, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship ensured that every element was completed to the highest standard. The result was a seamless, high-performance electrical system built to support Australia Post’s operational needs well into the future.
Both the client and contractor were extremely satisfied with the outcome, recognising Lightspeed Electrical’s dedication, professionalism, and ability to deliver outstanding results under demanding conditions. Their positive feedback was a direct reflection of the team’s consistent effort to meet and exceed expectations. From the outset, the project presented unique challenges—tight deadlines, evolving requirements, and the critical need for constant adaptability to maintain Australia Post Strathfield’s 24/7 operations. Every member of our team understood the importance of precision, communication, and flexibility, and we brought those values to every phase of the project.
Despite the complexity, our focus never wavered. Each stage of the fit-out was delivered to a high professional standard, with careful attention to safety, efficiency, and overall project integrity. The successful completion of this large-scale, technically demanding electrical fit-out not only demonstrated our team’s depth of skill and technical expertise—it also reinforced Lightspeed Electrical’s standing as a trusted partner for major commercial and industrial projects.
