Optus Projects

Braetex successfully delivered the Optus PSU Removal Program, decommissioning and removing redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU) infrastructure across more than 2,7500 telecommunications sites. The program involved the safe isolation, removal and decommissioning of legacy network power assets that were no longer required as part of Optus’ network infrastructure. Through coordinated field delivery, site management and compliance with network and safety requirements, Braetex completed the large-scale rollout efficiently across a diverse range of site environments.

Hardline coaxial and copper cables form the backbone of Optus's legacy network infrastructure. Our teams manage the safe removal of aerial and underground hardline cabling across residential, commercial, and industrial environments — including traffic management, removal of associated pole hardware, site restoration, and responsible cable disposal and recycling.

Service drops connect the Optus street network to individual customer premises. Where premises have migrated to a new service or connections have been permanently ceased, redundant service drops require safe removal. Braetex manages service drop decommissioning across residential and commercial sites — disconnecting and removing drop cables, making safe all aerial attachment points and premises entry hardware, and completing all required handback documentation.

All Braetex crews working on Optus projects hold current industry certifications and operate under documented safety management plans. We meet Optus's contractor prequalification requirements, carry comprehensive public liability insurance, and deliver work to the quality and documentation standards required by Optus's network operations teams.
