The Penny Gold Mine is located in Western Australia, approximately 150 km southeast of Ramelius’ Mt Magnet mining and processing operations and around 550 km northeast of Perth. Recently, Viking Industrial was awarded a contract to power their village, and our services at the gold mine have grown from there. Read on to find out all the details and learn how we are helping to power this project.
How is Viking helping to power the project?
Our services at the Penny Gold Mine began when we were awarded a contract to power their new 80-person village, with capacity for future expansion. A complete turn-key package was delivered, including the installation and commissioning of 3 x 250kVA gensets in an N=1 arrangement and a 10,000L fuel system.
We began supplying generators ranging from 40–150kVA to power various site offices and administration buildings. After nine months, these generators increased to 2 x 300kVA. We have also expanded our presence with rental equipment supplied to Ramelius directly.
Our Sales Team were also engaged in supplying 3 x 500kVA generators and associated fuel systems to power the new underground operations. We have since been on site to complete servicing and provide ongoing support.
