A competitive Tier 2 company working on the North East Link Project, MACA Civil is well-known throughout the civil infrastructure sector for partnering with Tier 1 companies on large-scale projects valued over $100M. Due to an established relationship with Opt Hire, MACA was confident in our ability, willingness and support to find multiple market-ready solutions at differing price-points for their challenges. In this case, they required walkways and carparks to be lit for safe, secure movement across the site.

The Challenge
The lighting solution needed to be a temporary one, until the establishment of a permanent compound where lighting could be powered from the grid. This meant sources had to be easy to manage and also simple to install, relocate and remove with ease. Additionally, site constraints – such as electrical testing requirements, restricted walkways and car parks, emissions and Co2 compliance –imposed certain limits on any viable solution. -
SOLUTION
Opt Hire assessed the site and reviewed all MACA Civil’s priorities and site constraints. We then came up with four lighting options to choose from, incorporating:
- Compliance to Australian Standards
- Compliance to project emission & C02 requirements
- A lighting plan for each offering
- Price-points and a cost-benefit analysis
- Realistic timeframes for deployment and outlined expectations
These options were fully discussed with the client to determine the best-fit solution from the four. Even once decided, we provided a two-week free trial for their peace of mind. -
RESULTS
Opt Hire sufficiently answered all aspects of MACA Civil’s lighting requirements – while also reducing refuelling needs, C02 and other emissions – by offering an alternative to conventional diesel- powered lighting towers. Staff could walk safely to and from car parks to site buildings, and around those buildings, until permanent grid- powered lighting was eventually introduced.
