Karen Rolton Oval
The new lighting at Karen rolton Oval has created one of the few ovals in Australia outside of the national stadiums to meet Class 1 cricket standards. CME was faced with installing four 30 metre lighting towers, with 108 lED sports lights and the associated electrical infrastructure, at an oval under the flight path for Adelaide Airport and adjacent to a hospital helipad. This required the design and installation of a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) global positioning system (GpS) aviation lighting system with uninterruptible power supply (UpS) backup.

Victor Harbor Main Street Upgrade (Stage 3)
The Victor Harbor Main Street Upgrade - Stage 3, saw Buss and Grigg engaged to install a new main switchboard (MSB) and consumer mains to a distribution board in the amphitheatre, and supply and install street and decorative lighting. Much of the civil work was done out of hours to minimise disturbance to the public and road users. Unexpected obstacles during the excavations meant re-engineering the footing design for the lighting poles to suit each individual foundation.

The new Whyalla Jetty features a radical design with a centre loop. Chosen by the community, it has become a popular tourism drawcard. A major challenge for Aquest was to have no visible cabling or publicly accessible electrical equipment.
