Case Studies

  • Air Conditioning for Copper Mine

    Electric motors driving fans at an Arizona mine were performing poorly. Aggreko applied a combination of experience and ingenuity to deliver a solution. Industrial air-conditioners provided a constant source of chilled air that was directed across the motor coils.

  • Cooling Tower Hire for Power Station

    A fierce tornado damaged one of six critical cooling towers at an Oklahoma power station. The loss of the 115,000 GPM tower was severely limiting power generation.

  • Emergency Power for Gulf Rig

    Technical problems with on-board generators in this Gulf of Mexico based rig meant emergency shut-down.

  • Power Plant for an Oil field

    The Chad/Cameroon oil field project was a development of three oil fields located in a remote area of Southern Chad and the construction of a 1,070 kilometre pipeline linking Chad to a marine export terminal offshore Cameroon.

  • Power Generation for a Mine

    The BHP Billiton (BHPB) Mining Area C Development is located in Western Australia and contains one of the largest undeveloped Marra Mamba (iron formation) resource in the region. Until a new transmission line from the BHPB owned 105MW gas turbine power station could be connected to the remote area, an alternative power source was required to start operations.
