Electrical sub-station behind this  access door during Ronald  McDonald House construction Electrical sub-station remains in  place with Ronald McDonald House  open Where are PUP Systems Located within  Context of an Urban Locality? • This shows electricity  reticulation wires accessed by  several 230V twisted-pair  wires for house connections Many PUP systems require  individual property  connections • town gas • coaxial cable for pay TV and  HFC broadband Not every property  necessarily has a connection  to every PUP system, e.g. Where are PUP Systems Located within  Context of an Urban Locality? • may have significant numbers  of on-site PUP systems • and associated on-site  management systems • this example is a fire hydrant  sprinkler booster pump  system at front boundary of  Lady Cilento Children’s  Hospital, Mater Hill Large land uses such as  hospitals: J Bunker Who owns PUP Systems Located within  Context of an Urban Locality? Government agencies,  for example: Local government  (City Council) • stormwater… State government  e.g. Dept Transport  and Main Roads • road PUP Statutory authorities  and government  owned corporations  (GOCs), for example: Queensland Urban  Utilities • sewer, water  reticulation Energex • electricity  reticulation Private agencies, for  example: Total Peripherals  Group (TPG) • optic fibre Transurban • toll-road PUP Contents Contents The Civil  Engineer and  PUP Systems PUP Systems in  Urban Context Examples of  PUP Systems PUP Systems  and Plans PUP Systems  Location  Practical Issues Cues to Your  Investigation Some Conveyance PUP Systems Examples  PUP  System: Illustration: Infra- structure: Ownership: Location: Position: Sewer Pipe,  connector, valve Qld Urban  Utilities Within road  casement Underground Stormwater Kerb &  channel, pit,  pipe Brisbane City Council Within road  casement At-grade,  underground Electricity Ducted cable,  power pole &  wire Energex Within road  casement Underground  or overhead Copper  wire  telecoms Ducted cable, pit Telstra Within road  casement Underground Optic fibre  telecoms Ducted cable,  pit Optus Within road  casement Underground Some Change-in-State PUP Systems Examples PUP  System: Illustration: Infra- structure: Ownership: Location: Position: Sewer Sewage  pump station Qld Urban  Utilities Within public  land parcel Generally at  grade (low  point) Stormwater Constructed  open channel Brisbane City Council Within  easement or  public land At-grade Stormwater  and  Environ- mental Natural  watercourse Brisbane City Council or QG State  watercourse At-grade Electricity Sub-station Energex Within land  parcel At-grade Telecoms Telephone  exchange Telstra Within land  parcel At-grade Contents Contents The Civil  Engineer and  PUP Systems PUP Systems in  Urban Context Examples of  PUP Systems PUP Systems  and Plans PUP Systems  Location  Practical Issues Cues to Your  Investigation How do we know where the PUP systems  are?
