The Challenge: Upgrading a heritage-listed, high-traffic public space in the heart of Sydney CBD is no small task. QMC Group was engaged to remove and replace 248 halogen lights with new energy-efficient LED units in Hyde Park, a project spanning over 100 weeks. Beyond lighting, the project required significant electrical infrastructure upgrades, including switchboards, power cabling, and the replacement of existing light poles.
With a high-profile location, significant pedestrian traffic, and tight access constraints, QMC Group needed a reliable construction equipment hire partner that could provide not just the right gear but also expert logistical support to ensure minimal disruption to the public and adherence to strict project timelines.
The Solution: Orange Hire partnered with QMC Group to deliver a complete temporary work solution for construction hire equipment, supplying and managing essential equipment tailored to the unique challenges of this site. Our comprehensive package of reliable equipment included:
- 3000lm of Fortawall barriers – Ensuring safe pedestrian and worker separation in the high-traffic CBD area.
- Ground protection mats – Preventing surface damage and enabling secure equipment movement within the site’s restricted footprint.
- Steel road plates – Facilitating temporary access solutions for vehicle movement while maintaining site integrity.
- Temporary lighting (Diesel and Solar) – Providing uninterrupted visibility and safety for night works.
- Site accommodation – Ensuring project teams had the necessary on-site facilities to operate efficiently.
- Temporary power solutions – Powering critical tools and systems throughout the project.
- Compaction equipment – Supporting ground stability in key work zones.
- General purpose tipper trucks – Assisting with material handling and waste removal.
Orange Hire’s expertise in complete site solutions and construction logistics meant our team worked closely with QMC Group to schedule deliveries, optimise equipment use, and navigate the challenges of a heritage-listed site—all while minimising disruption to one of Sydney’s most iconic public spaces.
The Result: With Orange Hire’s end-to-end support, QMC Group successfully maintained steady project momentum while managing the complexities of working in a high-profile, restricted site. Our tailored construction site equipment solutions ensured compliance with safety regulations, facilitated smooth operations, and helped QMC Group keep the project on schedule.
Looking ahead, Orange Hire continues to support QMC Group, with upcoming equipment supply for their RMS road and construction project at Windsor Rd, Baulkham Hills.
