As a key delivery partner for control systems, Verbrec focused on improving the performance, flexibility and continuity of critical power infrastructure through advanced control systems engineering. The work was delivered in a live, high-voltage mining environment where reliability is essential to maintaining safety, productivity and future expansion capability.
132kV – 24VDC
Integrated across multiple voltage levels
End-to-end
Design, programming, testing and commissioning delivered
Zero disruption
Maintained operational continuity during live upgrades
Verbrec worked across complex, high-voltage systems, integrating new and existing infrastructure including switchyard modifications, transformers and switchgear. The project required careful coordination to manage brownfield constraints, limited site access and strict continuity requirements, ensuring upgrades could be delivered without interrupting live operations.
Verbrec delivered advanced control system engineering solutions to improve system performance, reliability and maintainability across the surface power network. This included redesigning control strategies, upgrading communication infrastructure and implementing temporary systems to maintain continuity during hardware constraints. The team also supported asset management requirements and integrated OEM control systems into the existing network, ensuring seamless operation across multiple voltage levels.
Verbrec’s work strengthened the reliability of critical power infrastructure while increasing operational flexibility to support future upgrades. Despite challenges such as site access delays and hardware constraints, the project was delivered within budget and maintained a high standard of quality. Proactive contingency solutions ensured uninterrupted operations, reducing risk across complex systems and establishing improved, repeatable design standards for ongoing development.
This project demonstrates how advanced control systems engineering can strengthen reliability, reduce risk and maintain operational continuity in complex, high-voltage environments.
