Projects - Cavell Contracting
Our Projects
A selection of Cavell Contracting’s electrical works across Western Australia, including industrial upgrades, mining projects and the design and implementation of hazardous area inspection systems.
Butcherbird Expansion Project — Electrical Installation & Testing
Cavell Contracting completed the electrical works for new and relocated site offices and amenities as part of the Butcherbird Expansion Project.
The scope covered power distribution, generator connections, building supplies and electrical testing across the new and existing infrastructure.
Cavell’s scope included:
- Electrical infrastructure: Installation of underground electrical conduits and cabling, distribution board installation and earthing connections.
- Generator supplies: Installation and connection of the new generator supply, together with electrical reconnection and earthing configuration changes for the relocated backup generator.
- Building connections: Electrical disconnection and reconnection of relocated offices and crib facilities, plus connections for new lunchroom, toilet and shower facilities.
- Testing and energisation: Electrical inspections, insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance and RCD testing, with pre-energisation checks on the new distribution equipment.
- Completion and handover: Electrical defect rectification, completed test records and progressive handover of the electrical works. Butcherbird Expansion Project
The electrical works supported a staged relocation, with new amenities brought into service before existing buildings were disconnected. This required coordination between the new installations and the electrical supplies serving the existing facilities.
Goldfields — Borefield & Mining Electrical Works
Cavell Contracting has carried out electrical installation, commissioning and maintenance works for mining operations in the Goldfields.
Our work has covered borefield pumping infrastructure, transfer station equipment and substations, alongside electrical installation, fault finding and decommissioning within existing brownfield facilities.
Cavell’s scope included:
- Borefield pump installations and maintenance: Electrical installation works for borefield pumping systems, together with maintenance of the installed equipment.
- Borefield transfer station: Electrical works associated with pumps, motors and flow-control equipment.
- Substation installation and commissioning: Installation and commissioning of substation infrastructure.
- Brownfield electrical works: Decommissioning of existing electrical installations, general fault finding and new installation works within established mining facilities.
- Earthing infrastructure: Installation of earth grids as part of the electrical works.
EEHA Inspection System — Design & Implementation
Cavell Contracting designed and implemented an Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas (EEHA) inspection programme for a confidential client.
The scope covered developing the programme and putting it into practice, rather than providing inspections alone.
Cavell’s scope included:
- Equipment registers and certification records: Established hazardous area equipment registers and organised the associated certification documentation.
- Inspection procedures and scheduling: Developed inspection procedures, checklists and schedules to support the client’s ongoing EEHA inspection programme.
- Digital inspection forms and reporting: Implemented digital forms and reporting tools to capture inspection findings and maintain consistent records.
- Defect tracking and rectification management: Established processes for recording defects, tracking rectification actions and documenting closeout.
- Implementation, training and handover: Introduced the system into use, trained personnel in its operation and handed over the supporting procedures and documentation.
The completed system gave the client a structured way to manage hazardous area equipment records, plan inspections and follow defects through to resolution.
Offshore Operations
Cavell Contracting provided offshore operator services and associated onshore support for a confidential client. The engagement combined offshore operational duties with workshop activities, mobilisation and demobilisation requirements.
Cavell’s scope included:
- Offshore operations: Performed Offshore Operator duties as part of the client’s offshore activities.
- Workshop and onshore support: Carried out workshop activities and associated office duties directly related to the offshore services.
- Mobilisation, training and demobilisation: Undertook the role-related training and mobilisation and demobilisation activities associated with the assignment.
