Moving a long wall is very expensive and time consuming. Not only do we have costs associated with the move, man hours, equipment, etc we also have no production, so the quicker the move can be made the less down time and cost is incurred.

The electrical team are usually the first “IN” and the last “OUT” when the long wall has to move, fi rst in to remove the cabling and electrical control and the last on the job, replacing all the cabling required.

One of our client sites in the Hunter Valley has sped up this process by designing a cable ‘Loom” that has all the cables laced together with cable drop offs where required, to junction boxes and control devices.
