- 400A underground service mains — correctly rated cable pulled through conduit from the network pit

The Process — From Application to Energisation
From maximum demand calculation through to energisation — here's exactly how we manage a 400A underground upgrade end to end in Belfield.
Maximum Demand Calculation
A certified maximum demand assessment that drives the cable sizing, conduit specification and pit design.
Network Application
We prepare and submit your supply upgrade application to Ausgrid on your behalf, including civil works specification.
Network Assessment
Ausgrid assesses network capacity and reviews the underground connection design — 400A applications often trigger a full assessment.
Level 1/3 Coordination
Where extra network capacity or civil works in the public domain are needed, we coordinate this through our managed supply chain.
Level 2 Installation
Civil works, conduit, cable, pit connections, consumer mains, earthing and switchboard — NOSW lodged on completion.
Energisation
Your 400A underground supply is energised, tested, commissioned and signed off with full compliance documentation.

400A Underground Supply Cost Factors
400A underground upgrades vary too widely in scope to quote a single fixed figure responsibly — civil works, network augmentation and site access all shift the price significantly. Here's what drives your Belfield quote.
Civil Works Scope
Trench length, surface reinstatement (paving, landscaping, driveways) and access all affect labour and cost.
Network Augmentation
If Ausgrid's existing network needs upgrading before your connection, Level 3 design and Level 1 construction add to the project.
Cable Configuration
A single 400A-rated cable versus dual parallel 200A runs affects conduit and pit design.
Switchboard/Pillar Type
A commercial-grade main switchboard or private distribution pillar is sized to the specific load and site layout.

FAQs
What's involved in a 400A underground supply upgrade in Belfield?
A 400A underground upgrade involves excavating trenches from the Ausgrid network pit to your building, installing correctly rated conduit and cable (often parallel dual 200A runs), connecting at the network pit to distributor standard, and terminating at your switchboard or distribution pillar. Civil reinstatement is included.
Can 400A be achieved with underground parallel mains?
Yes. Where a single 400A rated cable is not specified by Ausgrid, 400A is commonly achieved via dual parallel 200A underground consumer mains runs — each correctly rated and terminated. We design the installation to match the network's approval.
Does a 400A underground upgrade require network construction?
Frequently, yes. At 400A, the existing Ausgrid network often needs augmentation before the connection can proceed. We manage this through our Level 3 design and Level 1 construction partners — you deal with one company throughout.
Do you manage the civil works as well?
Yes. We coordinate and manage all civil works — trenching, conduit, pit installation, and reinstatement — as part of the project scope. One quote covers civil and electrical.
What kind of Belfield properties typically need a 400A underground supply?
Waterfront and mixed-use strata developments, marinas and boat storage facilities, larger commercial premises, and any site transitioning from a Temporary Builder's Supply to a permanent high-capacity connection are the most common candidates in the Belfield and wider Canterbury-Bankstown Council area.
