This BlueScope Steel project required replacing the aging 36 kV disconnectors/switches in an existing substation at BlueScope Steel's manufacturing facility.
The substation is of significant size, approximately 50-60 years old and vital to BlueScope's operations.
Minimising downtime was crucial to avoid significant impacts on steel production, meaning there was no room for errors. A key challenge posed by the project was the requirement that the new hardware be designed to allow the re-use of existing support structures and frames, meaning a lengthy and detailed design process would need to be undertaken.
Meeting Tight Deadlines: Insulect delivered equipment within a stringent six-month timeline by leveraging its agility and responsiveness to market needs.
Technical Compliance: Customising standard equipment to meet the client's specific site requirements was essential for technical compliance and overall project success.
Quality Installation: The deployment of experienced technicians ensured a quality installation and seamless substation commissioning, which contributed to the project's smooth execution.
The project execution was problem-free, culminating in the successful commissioning of the substation on time. This smooth execution was a testament to the team's expertise and the thorough supervision services provided.
