INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Vertical cable installation projects require precise engineering and unique solutions to result in the best outcomes for our customers.

That is why our vertical cable installation projects incorporate an engineered and certified cable clamp design developed by Murray Engineering. These clamps are smaller in dimension than traditional clamps used for vertical cable installations and result in a 30% reduction in borehole size.

This reduces drilling time, culminating in significant cost reductions. We also manufacture critical infrastructure components in our facilities ahead of time, to minimise on-site installation times and delays in the construction chain.


Benefits of vertical cable installations:

COMPLETED PROJECTS

Northern Goldfields mine site:

Key Project Details:

  • 1500m cable length and 28-tonne weight
  • 11,000V 350A electrical supply
  • Suspended from the surface only
  • 11kV switchgear enclosure included
  • Unique cable clamps designed specifically for the job to reduce borehole size by 30%
  • This is the second vertical cable install completed by Murray Engineering at the client’s mine site

A northern WA Goldfields mine site required an electrical upgrade to supply power direct to an underground crusher circuit. This mine site is the deepest operating mechanised mine in Australia. Murray Engineering designed, constructed and installed a vertical cable installation system to deliver the required upgrade without interruption to normal mining activities. This method saved the client hundreds of thousands of dollars and was installed and fully commissioned in just nine days on-site, with zero interruptions to daily mining operations or ore haulage.
