CE Group, a highly regarded electrical mining contractor, was engaged to undertake a critical project that involved extensive electrical infrastructure works. Specifically, the scope of the project included the supply, installation, and commissioning of three advanced switchboards, a 1MVA kiosk transformer, and a 1MVA low-voltage generator. In addition to this, it required the installation of associated cabling and cable support systems, as well as engineering modifications necessary for seamless integration.
Furthermore, the project entailed replacing the existing switchboards and constructing a platform for the DB-R-200 switchboard. This crucial phase ensured improved system reliability while addressing long-standing infrastructure challenges. To enhance efficiency, CE Group carefully planned the execution of the works to align with the operational requirements of the site.
One of the significant challenges, however, was managing site outages effectively. This was particularly important in critical areas where downtime could significantly disrupt operations. To address this, CE Group employed a phased approach, coordinating planned outages with the client to minimise interruptions. By prioritising clear communication and strategic planning, the team successfully mitigated potential impacts on site productivity.
Additionally, the engineering modifications required were tailored specifically to address site-specific challenges. These modifications not only ensured compatibility between the newly installed systems and existing infrastructure but also enhanced overall safety and performance. To further strengthen the project’s outcome, CE Group installed durable cabling and cable support systems designed to withstand harsh mining conditions.
Key milestones included delivering the project within the specified timeline and ensuring that all safety and quality standards were upheld throughout. By leveraging their expertise as an electrical mining contractor, CE Group demonstrated their ability to deliver high-quality solutions while navigating complex challenges.
