Mining and Minerals
Client: Glencore – Collinsville Mine
Substation MCC Upgrade services delivered by Cell Engineering supported electrical infrastructure improvements and operational reliability upgrades at Glencore Collinsville Mine.
MCC and Electrical Infrastructure Engineering
Cell Engineering was engaged to deliver detailed engineering design services associated with a Substation MCC Upgrade project operating within a mining infrastructure environment. The project included electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, MCC panel designs, general arrangement drawings, and earthing system designs supporting upgraded mining electrical infrastructure systems. Engineering activities also included factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), commissioning support, and engineering services associated with system integration and operational verification activities.
PLC and Conveyor System Upgrades
The Substation MCC Upgrade project also involved upgrade of seven conveyor systems to a 24VDC control platform with improved PLC feedback systems supporting pullwire and emergency stop functionality.
PLC and industrial control system upgrades play an important role in supporting operational safety, infrastructure reliability, and improved fault monitoring outcomes across mining and industrial environments.
Cell Engineering provides PLC and SCADA Engineering, operational technology, power systems, hazardous area services, and industrial electrical engineering solutions across mining and infrastructure sectors throughout Australia.
Shutdown Management and Commissioning Support
The project included management of shutdown activities associated with installation, commissioning, scheduling, and operational change management requirements for the upgraded infrastructure systems.
Mining infrastructure upgrades involving MCC systems and high-voltage electrical equipment require structured engineering coordination and practical field expertise to support safe operation and reliable project delivery outcomes.
Cell Engineering coordinated engineering, commissioning, and infrastructure integration activities aligned with operational requirements and project objectives.
Mining Infrastructure and Electrical Engineering Expertise
Mining operations rely on reliable MCC systems, electrical infrastructure, and industrial control systems to maintain operational continuity and safe equipment performance across process infrastructure environments.
Cell Engineering continues to deliver Substation MCC Upgrade services, operational technology, PLC and SCADA Engineering, power systems engineering, and industrial electrical engineering solutions tailored to mining infrastructure projects throughout Australia.
