ENERGEX takes to the water in southern Bay
The southern Moreton Bay area will be a hub of activity from 27 April as ENERGEX prepares to refurbish two electricity towers in Main Channel just off Russell Island.
The towers, located between Rocky Point at Russell Island and Woongoolba near Cabbage Tree Point, will be abrasively blasted from a platform of barges before being repainted.
ENERGEX will also have screens mounted on barges to catch the paint being removed from the 30-year-old towers and minimise the amount of debris landing in the water.
Weather permitting the refurbishment works are planned to take around four weeks with no power interruptions expected during this time.
ENERGEX says work will significantly increase the lifespan of the structures as well as ensuring a safe and reliable power supply for the residents and businesses of Russell, Macleay, Karragarra and Lamb Islands.
Work on the towers will be carried out seven days a week between 6.00am and 7.00pm.
ENERGEX thanks residents of the southern Bay Islands in advance for their patience while this necessary maintenance project is underway.
