| Situation: | Tolu Mining required the detailed design of HV and LV distribution networks to re-establish their gold mine after it had been mothballed for 10 years, including extending the operation underground. Engenuity were engaged to attend site to assess the existing electrical infrastructure to determine what could be re-used and provide the new electrical design for the site. |
| Our Role: | Engenuity initially conducted site inspections, testing and assessment of the existed aged infrastructure. Following this Engenuity developed a detailed design of the high voltage, low voltage, and earthing systems required to re-establish the mine and extend the operations underground. This involved the full development of detailed design documentation, and associated equipment tender reviews and recommendations. Engenuity is still to provide FAT and commissioning services later in 2025. |
| The Outcome | Engenuity worked together with local contractors to deliver the project, drawing on previous experience of working in PNG and making practical judgements to re-use as much equipment as possible while still delivering a robust result for operation into the future. The Tolu mine is expected to be operational later in 2025. |
