The Challenge

Sourcing Reliable Power In Remote, Harsh Conditions

The Telfer Mine is a gold, silver and copper mine located 1,300km from Perth. Operators of the mine, Newcrest Mining, sought a reliable solution to provide prime and emergency power for essential and critical equipment in the mining camp. Operating in the Great Sandy Desert in WA’s Pilbara region, the power source needed to be able to withstand the extremely hot and dusty working environment.

The Solution

Six Denyo Generators & A Self-Bunded Fuel Tank

Blue Diamond Machinery supplied a fleet of 6 Denyo DCA-150ESK 3-phase diesel generators to successfully power the mining camp, along with a self-bunded 4,000L diesel storage fuel tank. The Denyo generators were mounted on skids to ensure easy relocation and were set up to run parallel with one another, increasing their reliability and efficiency.

The Denyo DCA-150ESK generators feature a noise-minimising enclosure lined with special vibration-absorbing polymer material to reduce vibration and ensure noise didn’t disrupt the camp.
