Client's Challenge
Due to the remote location our client, they couldn’t access mains power cost efficiently. We worked closely with their project management team to design an off grid system to be able to run up to 2 generators at once, and have the option for a 3rd generator to be installed as a backup plan to ensure the plant maintained its 100% operation rate.
I2R Solution
In order to meet requirements, I2R designed and manufactured three switchboards for Stage 1 & 2 of this project:
• A 40ft / 12 metre prefabricated switchroom housing a 2000A Switchboard powered by up to 3 generators and 1 solar system. This switchboard will supply power to 4 separate switchrooms as part of a 5 year / 4 stage project.
• Additional 1200A main distribution board and switchroom to power the OEM MCC equipment
• Additional 800A switchboard designed to power the OEM MCC equipment for stage 2 of the project
• I2R is closely collaborating with the electrical team on-site to ensure optimal delivery and installation of the system, leveraging I2R’s manufacturing and delivery services.
