Mt Morgan’s Gold Mine Upgrade

Mt Morgan’s Gold Mine Upgrade

January 2017 saw Future Power WA tendering on a brownfields venture at the Mt Morgan’s Gold Mine directly to Dacian Gold. We were asked to design, supply and construct a new 11kV powerline from the newly installed diesel fired power station to the administration complex, underground operation and the newly installed 500-man camp. The scope of work on this project was subject to change and Future Power WA’s experience was called upon to offer a cost effective solution whilst still meeting the construction deadline of 3 months.

The scope of work was as follows:

  1. Design
  2. Supply
  3. Survey
  4. Civils and installation of foundations
  5. Construction of 4 km of 11kV powerline
  6. Supply and installation of underground 11kV cable approx. 1000 meters
  7. Supply and installation of one 11kV RMU, one 500kVA and one 1000kVA transformer
  8. Supply and installation of one 500kVA transformer + RMU kiosk
  9. Submissions to the Department of Mines & Petroleum
  10. All testing and commissioning

Upon completion of the HV project, Future Power was further engaged to design, supply and install all associated equipment to completely fit out the Mine Services Area, including the Heavy Vehicle and Light Vehicle Workshops.

The scope included:

  1. Design, supply and fit out including testing and commissioning of the HV Workshop
  2. Design, supply and fit out including testing and commissioning of the LV Workshop
  3. Design, supply and installation of 40 carpark and pathway light poles including all civil works
  4. LV Distribution Board engineering, supply and installation
  5. Supply and installation of all LV supply cables

The LV project was completed on time, within budget and without incident. Through the successful completion of the HV and LV projects, Future Power WA established a good working relationship with mine personnel and with Dacian Gold, and as a result was called upon to design and construct the lightning protection around the newly installed Magazines, and the design, supply and installation of the electrical and piping works associated with various piping facilities to / from the Mine Services Area (MSA).
