Trafo Power Solutions recently extended its scope of supply into modular substations, also called E-houses. The company explains that the design of its dry-type transformers makes them suitable to fit into any space and deliver the power needed for mining operations.

The company says that partnering with engineering, procurement, construction management (EPCM) professionals ensures that both greenfield and brownfield mining projects are efficiently executed.

Trafo Power Solutions MD David Claassen says the key to successful partnerships lies in comprehending the EPCM domain, noting that it has established collaborations with EPCM contractors globally, especially across South Africa, Africa, Australia and Canada.

“It's vital to understand that each project has its uniqueness, and our team successfully navigates this by adopting an "understanding strategy", emphasising the importance of collaboration to manage the complexities,” he says. "Our deep comprehension of the project process helps us pinpoint and provide the most suitable solution tailored to customer needs."

EPCM contractors handle intricate tasks such as detailed engineering and design and Trafo Power Solutions says it contributes by suggesting alternate solutions, ensuring efficient procurement, avoiding redundancy and ensuring the best outcomes for every project.

“Our flexibility allows us to mesh with any project team, irrespective of their chosen software,” Claassen notes.

Trafo Power Solutions asserts that it is one of the few local transformer specialists who can design and supply dry-type transformers in enclosures that meet IP65 rating. In partnership with TMC Transformers from Italy, the company notes that it offers quality, reliable dry-type transformers.
