The Zest WEG Group’s EnI Electrical, one of Africa’s largest electrical construction companies, has secured a major contract at the WBJV Project 1 (Maseve) mine for client DRA, the main EPCM contractor on the project. This follows EnI Electrical successfully opening its Rustenburg branch in 2014 to service the platinum mining sector in the region.
Trevor Naudé, managing director of EnI Electrical, says the contract represents a major coup for the Zest WEG Group as Maseve is South Africa’s first Greenfield platinum mine in over a decade. “We secured the Maseve contract towards the end of 2014, in the wake of numerous small brownfield projects whereby we established our base in the region.”
Naudé adds that the greater Zest WEG Group will be involved in this flagship project, from supplying the mill motors to the electrical and instrumentation infrastructure and the associated electrical panels. “We will be carrying out all the associated electrical cabling and racking, in addition to installation of all the instrumentation. This is a significant contract, and it is also fast-track.”
In addition, Naudé reveals that EnI Electrical has clinched a major contract from Anglo Platinum for the electrical and instrumentation infrastructure for a new pump station. “We secured the Maseve contract in December 2014 and the Anglo Platinum contract in January 2015, both of which bode well for the year ahead.
“Not only is EnI Electrical optimistic at the overall outlook for 2015, but we are optimistic about the continued activity in the South African mining industry as a whole. The Zest WEG Group will be targeting the mining industry aggressively, as we have the level of excellence necessary to sustain new business and to successfully deliver such turnkey projects,” concludes Naudé.
