Earth Grid Design / Step and Touch
Client: South 32 Groote Eylandt
Step and Touch Measurement services delivered by Cell Engineering supported safe operation and electrical infrastructure verification for a power station generator replacement project at South32 Groote Eylandt.
Earth Grid Injection Testing Scope
Cell Engineering was engaged to complete Step and Touch Measurement and earth grid injection testing activities associated with a generator replacement project operating within a power station environment. The project included detailed modelling of the site’s electrical infrastructure to predict step and touch voltage outcomes, assess design parameters, and support safe operation of the upgraded power systems infrastructure. Injection testing activities were completed using Cell Engineering’s internally developed off-frequency injection testing equipment located within Darwin and Mackay operations.
Electrical Engineering and Earthing Design
Step and Touch Measurement activities are essential for helping industrial and utility infrastructure operators assess electrical safety risks associated with fault currents and high-voltage infrastructure systems.
Cell Engineering provides earth grid design, power systems engineering, operational technology, PLC and SCADA Engineering, hazardous area services, and industrial electrical engineering solutions across mining, utilities, and infrastructure sectors throughout Australia.
By combining practical field testing expertise with structured engineering methodologies, our multidisciplinary team supports safe infrastructure operation, compliance, and long-term system reliability.
Power Station Infrastructure and Safety
Power station infrastructure projects require reliable earthing systems and electrical safety verification activities to support safe operation during fault conditions and infrastructure upgrades.
The project involved the preparation of detailed engineering reports and general arrangement drawings, identifying step and touch voltage results across the site based on injection testing activities and infrastructure modelling outcomes.
Cell Engineering supported the project through equipment supply, labour coordination, onsite testing, engineering verification activities, and compliance-focused reporting aligned with operational safety requirements.
High-Voltage Infrastructure Expertise
High-voltage infrastructure projects rely on reliable earth grid systems, injection testing, and engineering verification activities to support safe operation and long-term infrastructure performance.
Cell Engineering continues to deliver Step and Touch Measurement, Earth Grid Design, power systems engineering, and electrical infrastructure support services across industrial, mining, and utility environments throughout Australia.
