In 2025, South Seas provided the complete supply and technical support of containerised switchrooms, MCCs, and PLCs for the ECG/Vanguard Snowy River Gold Project in New Zealand. Located on the South Island's West Coast, this high‑grade gold project demands rapid deployment and robust protection for electrical equipment.
Key deliverables include:
Containerised switchrooms: Pre‑fabricated units integrating MCCs and PLCs, with IP54 protection, dustproof, moisture‑proof, and corrosion‑resistant properties, suitable for rainy, high‑humidity mine conditions. On‑site connection is quick, significantly shortening construction time
MCCs: Modular design for centralized control of crushers, conveyors, and other process motors, supporting hot‑swap maintenance, current monitoring, and fault protection to ensure safe continuous heavy‑load operation
PLC system: Redundancy PLC for field signal acquisition, interlocking control, and sequence start; integrated touch‑screen HMI, supporting Modbus TCP/IP communication to the central control room for intelligent equipment coordination.
South Seas handled design, integration, factory testing, on‑site commissioning guidance, and operator training. This supply provides reliable power and automation support for the Snowy River Gold Project and deepens cooperation with ECG and Vanguard.
