Optus Projects

Background

Braetex works alongside Optus to deliver telecommunications infrastructure
decommissioning as legacy network assets are retired and replaced with modern
technology. Our experienced crews manage LPS removal, hardline cable extraction, and service drop decommissioning — all delivered to Optus's technical specifications and Australian safety standards.

Infrastructure Installation

LPS (Lead-in Protection System) Decommissioning

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 Decommissioning

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 Drop Decommissioning

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.

Safety and Compliance

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.

Outstanding Solar Installation Experience with Braetex Electrical! From the initial consultation with Adrian to the final switch-on, Adrian and his team exceeded all expectations with my solar installation. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and courteous throughout the entire process. They took the time to assess my energy needs, explained the best system options clearly, and delivered a tailored solution that perfectly suits my home. Installation was smooth and efficient, with minimal disruption. The crew arrived on time, worked diligently, and left everything clean and tidy. I was especially impressed by their attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship. Now that the system is up and running, I’m already seeing the benefits in my energy bills. I feel confident knowing I’ve chosen a reliable company that uses high-quality components and stands behind their work. I highly recommend Braetex Electrical to anyone considering solar, these are true professionals who genuinely care about their customers and the environment. Thank you, Adrian and the Team at Braetex, for making the switch to solar so seamless and rewarding!

I recently purchased my new electric vehicle. I had no idea about what I needed for installing the correct power etc, Adrian and his team were absolutely amazing to deal with. The professionalism and care they showed in completing the job for me was next level. I highly recommend giving them a call for any EV installation requirements!
