In 2025, South Seas supplied containerised switchrooms to the Lyco/K1 Mining SA project, including complete equipment and technical support. These switchrooms are used for power distribution and control in the mine. Featuring pre‑fabricated containerised structures, they highly integrate medium and low voltage switchgear, MCCs, and auxiliary distribution equipment, suitable for harsh outdoor mine environments, enabling rapid on‑site deployment and safe power supply.
Key features of this supply include:
Integrated design: Each switchroom houses medium voltage incoming and feeder panels, low voltage MCCs, and lighting distribution boxes, covering the full power distribution chain from high voltage reception to end‑user supply. The internal busbar system is optimized for compact layout and easy maintenance access
High protection and weather resistance: The enclosure is made of corrosion‑resistant steel, offering dustproof, moisture‑proof, and corrosion‑resistant performance suitable for dusty, humid, and high‑temperature variation conditions. A rainproof roof and cable entry sealing devices ensure long‑term stable operation of internal equipment
Prefabricated and rapid deployment: The switchroom is fully assembled, wired, and factory‑tested before delivery. On‑site work is limited to external cable connection and grounding, significantly shortening the construction schedule of the mine's electrical infrastructure and reducing site‑related risks.
South Seas handled the full scope from design selection, internal integration, factory testing, to on‑site commissioning guidance and pre‑energization checks. This supply provides a reliable, compact, and fast power distribution solution for the K1 Mining SA project and further strengthens technical cooperation with the Lyco team.
