Nova Nickel-Copper Project

Nova Nickel-Copper Project, Fraser Range

Working alongside Independence Group NL.

THE BRIEF

Collaborating with Independence Group NL, Kinetiq had to create a one-off evacuation alarm system, and undertake electrical installations and upgrades across various minesites. 

THE CHALLENGE

Independence Group NL electrical maintenance personnel were required to take leave and complete further training. With no time to train new people, they needed additional support during shut downs.

THE RESULTS

Kinetiq became familiar with all policies and procedures to offer Independence Group NL shift cover — including senior roles, such as Electrical Supervisors. We were able to provide highly skilled professionals that could expand the capability of shut down teams, with minimal disruption or training. This expertise and initiative has lead to Kinetiq now being Independence Group NL’s preferred electrical specialist.

THE SCOPE

  • Evacuation alarm system installation.
  • Lighting upgrade to the filter press building.
  • Ten 55’’monitor display installations.
  • Control room data and power upgrade.
  • Power and electrical cabling exploration and upgrade.
  • New switchboard exploration and installation.
  • Fan installation exploration.
  • Installation of new alcoholisers.
  • Power and air conditioner install to the gym extension.
  • Variable speed drive install to paste plant.
  • New cable reeler install for the overhead gantry crane in the filter press building.
  • Provision of hire equipment, onsite workshop, and storage facilities.
  • Provision of shut down personnel.

THE FEEDBACK

“The high skill and calibre of Kinetiq’s people has allowed us to trust them with specialised maintenance tasks and invaluable support during shut downs. They have become an integral part of our maintenance operations.

With Kinetiq providing Nova their own onsite workshop, storage facilities, and vehicles, they are efficient and allow us to remain productive. There are little or no mobilisation costs when they come to site at Nova”.
