A remote, high-spec generator installation supporting one of Western Australia’s largest emerging gold operations.

PHE Group was engaged to deliver the full electrical and instrumentation (E&I) installation for a 45MW gas-fired power station supporting the Gruyere Gold Project – one of Western Australia’s most significant emerging gold operations. Located 160 kilometres east of Laverton in the remote northern Goldfields, the station was developed to provide reliable, off-grid energy for the mine via APA Group’s integrated gas and solar microgrid.

PHE’s scope spanned both the generator installation and Balance of Plant, requiring precision planning and field execution in an isolated location, under compressed timeframes. With hazardous area requirements, high-spec componentry, and the logistical constraints of building at scale in WA’s interior, this project tested the limits of remote delivery and reinforced PHE’s standing as a trusted partner in critical energy infrastructure.

Project Scope

  • Delivered the full electrical and instrumentation (E&I) package to support a 45MW gas-fired power station for the Gruyere Gold Project.
  • Installed underground and tiered cable support systems for the powerhouse and generator bays.
  • Installed and terminated all LV control, instrument, and power cabling, including MCCs, PLCs, interface and RIO cabinets, and UPS and 48VDC protection systems.
  • Installed HV cabling for surge panels and feeders, including hazardous area cabling and instrumentation for the gas skid and generator bays.
  • Delivered the site’s Lightning Protection System and complete earthing and communications package.
  • Supported Stages 1–3 commissioning, including instrumentation, control systems, and integration of Balance of Plant.
