The Challenge
Temporary power for a remote mine in extreme conditions
The customer had a mining site in an extremely remote location with no access to main power. They needed a temporary power solution that would allow them to expand their mining operations while they were building their own long-term power plant.
As well as being a remote mine, there was limited road access making it difficult to transport in heavy equipment, such as generators, and to deliver the diesel to power them.
The site was also in a very cold region, so the customer needed equipment that could work in conditions as low as minus 40°F.
