SUPPLIER PROFILE
Murray Engineering is one of the largest and most diversified mining services providers in Australia . It is headquartered in Western Australia with branch locations throughout the country . Its products and services are used from the face to the factory above and below ground and exported to 5 continents of the world .
One of the foundations of its business is in Mechanical Maintenance . Full mobile machine rebuilds are undertaken where the machine is disassembled into its individual parts and then rebuilt to conform with the latest manufacturer ’ s specification often in as little as 6 weeks turnaround . To minimise not having the use of a production machine whilst undergoing a rebuild , Murray Engineering will hire a machine from its rental fleet to augment their clients ’ production . Long term site-based maintenance and repair contracts are undertaken for mobile machinery with KPI ’ s undertaken for the client so as to guarantee machine availability , machine operating cost and agreed maintenance manning . Shane Dunn , Mechanical Manager for Murray Engineering explains : “ We have the advantage of 26 years of maintenance data on one of the largest underground mining mobile machinery fleets in the world . Risk sharing is facilitated through having such an enormous pool of historical data ”. The Electrical Division assembles , installs and maintains a vast array of Electrical Components to suit mining applications and includes a range from electrical distribution panels to 60 tonne transportable switchrooms . “ With decades of experience with mining applications worldwide , we often tackle those applications which clients place in the too hard basket . St Barbara approached us to lower a single stage 1400 metre suspended HV cable so as not to disrupt production . Notwithstanding the forces associated with 26 tonnes of suspended cable , the job was completed on time and budget without incident ” cites Craig Shales , Electrical Manager . The diversity of services provides clients with a unique availability of single sourcing . A recent pump station project in Asia necessitated the installation of wireless communications between dewatering pumps and controllers which was automatically activated by face-mounted water level and temperature monitors . The pump controllers were housed in a fully enclosed fabricated station . All was completed in house by the Automation , Fabrication and Electrical divisions of Murray Engineering .
Murray Engineering continues to expand due to its worldwide scale and diversity of services .
