Overview
Electrical installation works completed for the relocation and commissioning of a cream cheese production and filling line from South Australia to Tongala Nutrition, including new power infrastructure and integration with existing plant systems.
The Requirement
A complete production line was relocated to site, requiring new electrical infrastructure to support:
- Extruding, filling, and packaging equipment
- Control systems and field I/O
- Adequate power capacity for full operation
The facility did not have the required infrastructure in place, requiring a new electrical supply and distribution system to be installed from the main switchboard.
What Was Completed
- Installation of a new submain from the main distribution board
- Provision of a 125A supply to support production equipment
- Installation of three-phase outlets and connections for plant equipment
- Installation and connection of field I/O racks for control integration
- Cable installation, termination, and system integration across the line
- Coordination with existing plant systems to ensure seamless integration
All works were planned and executed considering:
- Existing infrastructure limitations
- Production requirements
- Safe and staged installation
Outcome
- Reliable electrical supply supporting full production load
- Adequate capacity for all installed equipment
- Successful integration of relocated plant into existing facility
- System ready for commissioning and operation
Project Delivery
Installation works were carried out around live production and shift coverage, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing site operations.
Key Capabilities Demonstrated
- Industrial electrical installation
- Submain design and installation
- Three-phase power distribution
- Integration of relocated plant equipment
- Working within live production environments
