With no existing dewatering infrastructure in place, the project required a reliable and fully integrated control system to support continuous operations. Verbrec delivered control system integration for the Emeralds 48L Dewatering Pump Station, ensuring seamless performance within a live mining environment and reducing operational risk across one of Australia’s most significant mining operations.
300%+
Scope expansion managed during delivery
PCN integration
OEM system integrated into site-wide control network
Full commissioning
Testing and on-site support delivered for seamless transition
Verbrec was initially engaged to integrate the OEM pump station into the Process Control Network, but the scope expanded significantly as additional control system responsibilities were reallocated. This growth was managed by a multidisciplinary team that maintained strong technical responsiveness, clear communication and consistent delivery performance, ensuring the project remained aligned with operational requirements.
Verbrec delivered comprehensive control system integration, ensuring the dewatering pump station could operate reliably within defined parameters while managing site-specific challenges. This included advanced PLC configuration, network integration and VSD optimisation, along with hands-on commissioning support to resolve real-world issues and ensure operational readiness. The approach focused on building a stable, scalable control solution that aligned with the existing Process Control Network.
The project delivered a safe, practical and high-quality integration outcome, ensuring the dewatering pump station could operate reliably within a critical mining zone. Verbrec’s involvement extended beyond integration, with on-site troubleshooting, testing and commissioning support ensuring a smooth transition to live operations. The result is improved dewatering reliability, reduced day-to-day operational risk and a stronger foundation for ongoing mining activities.
Verbrec demonstrated strong technical capability and comprehensive system integration knowledge. Their responsiveness was excellent, with clear communication, timely updates and professional documentation supporting project progress.
