Our site-experienced Electrical Engineers have the practical knowledge and understanding of site challenges and what’s required to keep your site running 24/7.
With our pragmatic approach, our Electrical Engineers are adept at ensuring your electrical system is compliant with Australian Standards, such as AS/NZS 3000, 3007, 3008, 3010, 4871, 2081, AS 2067 and industry standards like IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E while keeping your personnel safe.
Keeping sites compliant, efficient + safe
Waterline understands that the electrical distribution systems required to keep your site running 24/7 are extensive. They are complex and constantly changing to support the requirements of operations and future development. To maximise reliability, ensure compliance with Australian Standards and maintain safety, you need a record of how everything is currently connected and calculations, to ensure it will work effectively and safely.
We’ve delivered Power Modelling projects using PowerTools for Windows (PTW) and PowerCAD for major Australian mining asset owners and operators. Our RPEQ Engineers know what’s required to keep your site compliant and personnel safe. It’s because of our knowledge and understanding coupled with our pragmatic approach that clients collaborate with Waterline for their Power Modelling requirements. Like these clients who we’ve supported as an extension to their team. Read the difference our team can make for your site.
power model updates BMA DAUNIA MINE
- The client needed an up to date power model based on As-Built data
- The client also required updated Arc Flash incident energy levels and stickers per IEEE 1584:2018
- There was a need to ensure there were no compliance issues with current protection settings, cables, transformer and generator loadings, etc
Waterline’s site-experienced engineers:
- Updated the existing model with As-Built documentation provided by site (Single Line Diagrams, Cable Schedules, Protection Settings registers, etc)
- Updated Single Line Diagrams with revised Arc Flash information
- Delivered a Power Study Report highlighting areas of increased risk for further investigation:
– Load Flow Study (Cable Sizing, Maximum Demand & Fault Level)
– Coordination Study
– Arc Flash Study
Our team updated the client’s:
- Power Model—ensuring compliance with Australian Standards
- Arc Flash incident energy levels—ensuring workers know what PPE is required at certain pieces of equipment
SITE WIDE POWER MODEL UPDATE BMA BROADMEADOW MINE
- The client required a site-wide power model update in accordance with Single Line Diagrams, which Waterline was updating concurrently
- Site was dissatisfied with the previous company who worked on the model, therefore engaged Waterline to complete the work
Waterline’s scope of works comprised:
- Updating the site-wide power model
- Arc Flash Labels
- Coordination of Protection Devices
- Load Flow
- The client was impressed with Waterline’s quality of work, resulting in Waterline being engaged for this ongoing project
- Waterline successfully completed the
power model
POWER MODELLING EAAS AQUILA MINE
- The client needed support with maintaining the site-wide power model
- The client needed an engineering service provider to be more responsive than the previous company who managed their model
Our Electrical Engineers supported the client by:
- maintaining the site-wide power model
- providing timely engineering advice on upcoming capital projects while also updating the client’s model
- providing timely engineering advice and model reviews for small proposed changes associated with day to day operational requirements
- Waterline assisted the client maintain an accurate site-wide power model
- This provided the client with greater clarity and visibility of what happens to their electrical system with future upgrades
- Our work provided the client with greater visibility and control of what issues exist and the alternative solutions
