Flexible cooling and power for a live gold processing site

Delivering process-grade cooling and power without permanent infrastructure, in a high-security operating environment

A leading gold production facility in Perth required chilled water to support key processing systems, but had no permanent plant to deliver it. The site’s infrastructure lacked the power capacity and mechanical systems needed, and installing a fixed solution was not feasible within the client’s timelines or capital constraints.

Complicating matters further, the site’s footprint was highly restricted. Any temporary system had to work within tight spatial limits and avoid disruption to ongoing operations. Integration with sensitive production equipment demanded precision, and access protocols meant traditional mobilisation approaches wouldn’t work.

The client needed a reliable, technically advanced cooling solution that could perform like a permanent system, without the long lead times or high upfront costs.

A high-performance cooling and power system engineered for constrained space and strict security.

‍

Aircon Hire designed and delivered a fully customised process cooling package, tailored to the site’s footprint, power limitations and operational requirements.

‍

We supplied a fleet of chillers configured to meet fixed-plant standards, supported by VSD pump skids, buffer tanks and a mechanical pipework system built for seamless integration with the existing production setup.

‍

We provided 150kVA and 350kVA generators with fuel cell integration to power the system, ensuring stable operation without overloading the site infrastructure. The system was designed with built-in redundancy, allowing continuous performance during maintenance or demand spikes.

‍

Despite tight access and high-security conditions, the full mobilisation was completed efficiently through careful staging and close coordination with the client’s team. From fabrication to commissioning, every step was managed in-house and delivered as a complete turnkey solution with 24/7 support throughout.
