Project Overview
PROCons was engaged to deliver TRAFFIC SIGNALS and PUBLIC LIGHTING works as part of the Fitzsimmons Lane upgrade, providing integrated underground civil and electrical infrastructure works to support a safer, more efficient road environment.
The project required a contractor with experience in live road environments, underground services, traffic signal infrastructure and public lighting installation, delivered in compliance with relevant authority standards.
By managing both the civil and electrical scopes, PROCons provided a streamlined, coordinated solution that minimised disruption and ensured a high‑quality outcome.
The Challenge
The Fitzsimmons Lane upgrade presented several technical and operational challenges, including:
- Live traffic and pedestrian movements
- Existing underground services requiring protection
- Precise coordination between civil and electrical works
- Public lighting and traffic signal infrastructure integration
- Strict compliance with authority and safety requirements
The project required careful planning to ensure works were delivered safely, efficiently and with minimal impact to road users and surrounding areas.
The PROCons Solution
PROCons delivered an integrated civil and electrical approach, allowing all underground works, conduit installation and electrical infrastructure to be completed safely.
Through detailed planning and staged construction, our team coordinated excavation, underground services and electrical installations efficiently while maintaining traffic management and site safety throughout the upgrade works.
This approach reduced interface risk, improved construction sequencing and ensured seamless delivery of the overall project.
