Power for Remote Sites, Including Your Own

Our licensed electricians run the LV power, controls and telemetry that bring pumps, bores, buildings and site services to life, then test, energise and certify the work.

Camp Power That Scales →

Designed, Built and Installed In-House

We design, build and install off-grid solar and battery systems in-house, installed to Australian standards by our own licensed electricians, EC15850.

We fabricate our own battery cabinets, fit smart controls with a live dashboard, and add EV charging on site. We run the same systems on our own sites first.

LV Power, Controls and Telemetry

Pump, bore and site-services power, instrument cabling, VSD skids and the tie-in to the client’s telemetry or SCADA.

Where We’re Going

Better Buildings, Smarter Energy, Healthier People

Remote camps run on diesel around the clock, in buildings that fight the heat. We’re building the alternative: buildings that need less power, powered from their own roofs, with the generator as the backup.

What We’ve Done So Far

Proven on Our Own Sites First

  • We made two off-grid offices for RJV, running on 12.2 kW of rooftop solar and a 24 kWh battery.
  • We installed and commissioned a 233 kWh battery and 30.6 kW of solar for RJV, powering four workshop domes, a wash pad and a fuel tank off the grid.
  • We run a Pilbara dewatering set fully off-grid on our own solar and battery.
  • We put the first mine-spec Tesla to work on one of our Pilbara sites.
  • We built a camp power system that scales from a single building to a full camp.

Where It Leads

This Is Where We’re Taking It

Most camp energy studies fix the supply. We fix the demand and the supply, so the rooftops do the work and there is no solar farm to clear.

Main Project

Came for Firewater, Asked to Stay

We came in for a firewater package and were asked to stay for E&I, piping and civil: switch room and DCS terminations, heat tracing, lighting, fibre and FAT/SAT support. About 50 work packages.

Client
Albemarle
Location
Kemerton, South West
Year
2020–24
Scope
~50 packages, ≈10 km conduit, 8 HDD crossings, 9 disciplines

Bores Wired and Commissioned Every Year Since 2021

We fit the pump, run the power and instrument cabling, set up the VSD skid or generator, and commission each bore into the client’s telemetry or SCADA. The same electricians work bore after bore on the dewatering sites we run, from the first pump to the SCADA tie-in.
