Efficient Power, Cooling, And Air Solutions Built For Remote Mining Operations

HVAC, air, and energy solutions for the mining industry

We help the mining industry extract resources in a safe, scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible way.

Mining companies face unique challenges around HVAC, air, and power, working in remote areas with limited or no power. Worse, these requirements can change significantly over the lifecycle of a mine–and only intensify as the industry continues its journey to sustainable mining and renewable power solutions.

Mining companies choose us with confidence because we have more than 50 years of experience providing reliable power. We also continue to improve the efficiency of our products and integrate cutting-edge technologies such as battery storage into our offering.

With a large-scale fleet and deep knowledge of the operational realities of the mining sector, we help major mining companies, exploration companies, and mining contractors:

  • Operate in remote and demanding locations
  • Control the capital cost of power generation
  • Prevent outages even in extreme conditions
  • Reduce fuel consumption, costs, and emissions
  • Avoid lost productivity due to safety risks or equipment failure

Aggreko’s difference: mining solutions for every stage of the lifecycle

Our unique scale means we become a single partner for your end-to-end power, air, and cooling requirements, from setting up camps to preparation plants. All with equipment delivered to the highest standards of quality, health, safety, and sustainability.

Adaptable solutions for mining power generation and HVAC

  • Power generation and Electrical distribution panels to bring reliable energy to even the most remote locations. We supply multi-megawatt power packages designed to operate in harsh environments from extreme heat to sub-zero, including gas and diesel generators with leading fuel efficiency and performance. We also provide backup and emergency power to keep you operational in planned maintenance or emergencies.
  • Hybrid energy solutions combining generators with battery storage to increase your resilience and agility. With automation as standard, you can intelligently switch your power from generators to batteries and back again depending on the unique power requirements for any given stage of the mining lifecycle.
  • HVAC solutions, coolers, and chillers including comfort cooling to create the optimal conditions for your teams, even in hot underground mines. Our ventilation and HVAC solutions will keep your team operating and peak productivity through all seasons.
  • Dehumidification solutions to remove excess moisture from your environment and protect sensitive equipment against the dangers of water ingress.

Aggreko’s Greener Approach: creating a more sustainable mining industry

At Aggreko, we’re proud to be leading the Energy Transition and helping resource-intensive organizations find smarter, cleaner ways to work. We constantly invest in efficiency and strive to reduce emissions from our equipment.

In the mining industry, we support companies to achieve their ESG strategies by reducing the consumption of thermal fuels and lowering overall fuel consumption.

With our rightsized solutions, you can:

Greener power and energy technologies for mining operations

Tier 4F diesel generators that work in the same way as the cleanest car engines, limiting carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Integrated into your solution, generators offer clean, reliable power to supplement or replace grid connectivity.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that deliver the ultimate performance efficiency by enabling you to store and consume power more flexibly. We integrate energy storage solutions into your mining operations to support your energy transition goals.

Energy Transition expertise from ways to reuse environmental heat with Combined Heat and Power (CHP) to hybrid power solutions as part of your mining industry package.

    We work with mining companies of every shape and size. Regularly, we support national mining companies, small and mid-sized operators, exploration companies, and mining contractors. With such a diverse range of equipment and deep knowledge of your applications, we create a turnkey solution that addresses your unique challenges.

    Power is a major contributor to the expense of implementing and running a successful mine. In remote locations, even securing enough power for initial camps can require considerable capital expense. Once you’re up and running, fuel costs create an ongoing expense that’s hard to predict in a volatile market. We simplify the process and help reduce costs by enabling you to access power without capital expense and, where possible, move away from costly fuels with smart dual-fuel and hybrid solutions.
