Genus was engaged to complete the final connections and interconnections associated with new high-voltage reticulation infrastructure at BHP’s Yandi operations.
Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) is an integrated mining system comprising four processing hubs and five mines, connected by more than 1,000 kilometres of rail infrastructure and port facilities across the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
At the Yandi mine, relocation of the high-voltage network required installation, testing and energisation activities to integrate the new infrastructure and support continued operations.
The project required specialist HV expertise together with testing, commissioning and regulatory management activities to safely prepare the infrastructure for energisation.
Genus was engaged to provide high-voltage cable terminators and specialist testing technicians to support installation and testing activities associated with the HV network relocation.
The works supported final connection and energisation of the relocated electrical infrastructure.
The project extended beyond testing and commissioning activities, with Genus also providing project delivery, stakeholder coordination and regulatory support throughout execution.
Genus delivered testing, installation and energisation activities associated with the relocated HV network.
The scope includes:
The project also included:
The project was successfully completed with works extending beyond testing and commissioning into full project delivery support.
The project concluded with provision of the required safety certificate, enabling the infrastructure to proceed to energisation.
The completed works supported relocation and integration of the new HV network infrastructure at Yandi operations.
