Scope of work
Design, manufacture and delivery of 3 substation feeder control panels for the HVAC system
Project overview
Ivevane Automation was appointed as manufacturer and supplier for 3 substation feeder control panels for the HVAC system at the Port of Saldanha. With limited time and construction moving at a fast pace on site, the task was to design, manufacture and deliver the panels to a site 1,300 km from our operations offices in Boksburg. The teams worked overtime, and at times through the night, to meet the delivery deadline. Through close relationships with suppliers, we secured the necessary switchgear, completed and approved the designs, and started manufacturing the steelwork. The images show the process through to the final product delivered to site.
