Roy Hill engaged Teksal Safety to conduct interlock installation and commissioning services for its port facility in Port Hedland, Western Australia.
To ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, Teksal Safety’s Technical Sales Manager Steve Parks conducted survey, installation and maintenance of the Fortress variable speed drive (VSD) interlocks on the substation electrical cabinets at the port.
About the project
Roy Hill’s purpose-built, world-class iron ore port facility at Port Hedland can receive, stockpile, screen and export up to 60Mtpa of iron ore as lump and fines.
Its stockyard can store more than 2.3 million tonnes, with ten 230,000 tonne live stockpiles and additional space as needed.
The operations are split into two separate circuits – inloading and outloading.
