High Voltage Reticulation Design
We were contracted to provide a concept design of the underground electrical reticulation including substations, compressed air and primary pumping stations from which a construction budget of the new underground mine could be developed. Through our experience with the development and installation of underground infrastructure we were able to develop installation plans and projected costs […]
Automatic Livestock Drafting System
We’ve applied our experience to create a prototype automated drafting system for livestock. We can design and build these to work with your existing livestock handling systems such as a cattle crush. They can be programmed to draft via remote control, weight or RFID tags, giving the farmer the information that they need at the […]
Pump Station Upgrade
Tasks completed in the works:
We were engaged to carry out a complete electrical upgrade of a major pumping station as a turnkey solution. This provided the customer with an automated pumping station that was designed to meet Australian and legislative standards as well as being able to withstand the harsh corrosive operating environment. This system was designed, constructed and installed onsite by MBI Engineering.
Learn moreRing Main Unit Upgrades
For this project, the scope of work was to upgrade 4 existing ring main units (RMUs), from design through to completion. As the existing RMUs had been purchased and installed in the early 1980s, they had reached the end of their service life. The original equipment manufacturer had released a notification that the equipment was […]
Substation Installation
We were engaged to project manage and execute the design and installation of a number of electrical upgrades, part of the works involved the upgrade and installation of a number of underground substations. The substations were an essential piece of infrastructure for the continual development of the mine to maintain power at the production face […]
Protection System Maintenance and Testing
Tasks completed in the works:
This project involved secondary injection testing of 185 relays across six substations along with the load testing of the protection system battery banks of the two primary substations as well as the auxiliary power station.
Learn moreGrain Drying and Handling Facility Installation
We completed the electrical design and installation of a grain handling facility for an established agricultural client who grows corn, wheat, barley and lucerne crops. The facility allowed the client to grow and harvest corn all year round, helping them become a more efficient producer. We completed the full electrical design, constructed a Motor Control […]
Valve Control Panel Design
We designed a control panel operating a set of valves in a pastefill system underground. The panel required a full uninterruptible power supply to ensure that the valves could still be operated in the event of a power failure, preventing potential damage to millions of dollars of infrastructure. We came up with an extra low […]
Gas Production Plant Electrical Upgrades
We were engaged by another contractor who we collaborate with regularly to assist in upgrading an 11kV and 3.3kV switchboard at a gas production plant. We performed a number of tasks on this job. We handled the project management, schedule development and tracking, engaged with the customer and managed the execution. We also performed high […]
High Voltage Switchboard Upgrade
Tasks completed in the works:
- High voltage protection setting development and network coordination.
- Design of a remote operator control panel for the operation of the switchgear. This removed the operator from the danger zone in the event of any equipment or switchgear failure.
- Shutdown execution schedule development and tracking.
- Commissioning; Protection relay testing, switchboard testing.
- Installation worked alongside the customer’s team to complete cable joints, terminations and testing
