Project Overview

Project Snapshot

A package substation, oil-immersed transformer and switchgear solution supplied for a mining site in West Africa, supporting remote-site power distribution, harsh environment requirements, factory testing, documentation and export shipment coordination.

This project involved the supply of package substation equipment, oil-immersed transformers, MV switchgear and LV distribution panels for a mining site power distribution system in West Africa. The equipment was configured for outdoor installation and remote-site operating conditions.

Before production, the project specification and single-line diagram were reviewed to confirm transformer rating, voltage ratio, environmental requirements, switchgear protection, enclosure protection, cable entry direction, spare parts, documentation and packing requirements for long-distance shipment.

The package was manufactured, tested and prepared with project documents, inspection records and export packing support before delivery.

How We Delivered

Challenge And Solution

The requirement on site, and how the specification, drawings, and production were supported.

The Challenge

Project Requirement

<p>The mining site required transformer and switchgear equipment suitable for outdoor operation, remote maintenance and long-distance shipment. Several technical and project items needed confirmation before production, including environmental design, transformer accessories, switchgear protection, enclosure protection, cable entry direction, spare parts, packing method and document submission schedule.</p>

Our Solution

What We Supported

Our engineering team reviewed the mining project specification, SLD and environmental requirements before preparing the package substation proposal. Transformer ratings, MV switchgear configuration, LV distribution arrangement, enclosure protection, accessory scope, packing method and documentation requirements were checked with the project team.

Based on the confirmed requirements, we prepared a practical transformer and switchgear package with technical datasheets, arrangement drawings, test reports, packing references and export shipment support for remote-site installation.
