SCOPE
AULDEC Solutions provided their services to Anglo Gold Ashanti at Tropicana Gold Mine to carry out the installation and testing of underground mining substations and HV cabling.
Over 1.8km of 3 core 185mm² HV cable was installed in the mine to the 3MVA and 2MVA skid-mounted substations. Transportation, installation, and pre-commissioning of the 3 substations and single RMU were completed, 11kv 800A bolted coupler terminations and inline joins were made and tested. Auldec delivered this turnkey project to AGA, including a complete substation fit-out.
Being self-sufficient, AULDEC provided all the machinery and equipment required for the job and a team with a strong underground experience, confident to deliver the project safely, on time and on budget. AULDEC enjoyed a healthy working relationship with AGA and the Macmahon mining production and development teams to coordinate the works.
