Harmony Gold Mine

Project Sponsor: Harmony/Rand Uranium
Principle Contractor: CPi
Location: Gauteng

Brief Scope

11- Pump stations (ea. with 4x 3 MW pumps)
≈1.5 km below surface

In view of the continues down time and frustrating underground pump failures Harmony requested CPi to provide a condition monitoring solution for the underground pump stations at surface level. CPi chose a Ethernet fiber network to reach each of the pump stations underground with AS-i gateways to monitor pump vibrations, pressures, flows and motor power consumptions.
