The demand for metals and minerals continues to surge, turning the spotlight onto the mining sector and bringing greenfield and brownfield mining projects into focus. Ensuring these ventures are executed efficiently within time and budget limits, requires a tailored strategy. Often, this means relying on the expertise of an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) contractor.
Dry-type transformers from Trafo Power Solutions are designed to fit the given space and deliver the power needed.
David Claassen, Managing Director of Trafo Power Solutions, believes in the importance of partnering with EPCM professionals and says the key to successful partnerships lies in understanding the EPCM domain. Established in 2017, Trafo Power Solutions specialises in dry-type transformers and has established robust collaborations with EPCM contractors around the world, in South Africa, Africa, Australia, Canada and elsewhere.
Claassen attributes Trafo Power Solutions’ consistent successes to the principles it observes in its approach to projects. These include: understanding the project complexities, fostering effective communication, flexibility in adjusting to evolving project scopes, access to proven technology and products, and delivering timely results.
“It's essential to understand that each project has its uniqueness, and our team successfully navigates this by adopting an understanding strategy, emphasising the importance of collaboration to manage the complexities,” he says. "Our deep understanding of the project process helps us pinpoint and provide the most suitable solution, tailored to the customer’s needs."
EPCM contractors handle the work of detailed engineering and design. Trafo Power Solutions contributes by suggesting alternative solutions where suitable, ensuring efficient procurement, avoiding redundancy, and ensuring the best outcomes for every project.
Claassen says communication is the cornerstone of successful project execution. With various EPCM entities employing different communications tools and software, Trafo Power Solutions prides itself on its adaptability. “This allows us to work with any project team, irrespective of their chosen software,” Claassen says. He emphasises that this adaptability optimises project management processes, contributing to each project's success.
Integrity and collaboration are core to Trafo Power Solutions' operations. Its dedication to understanding project requirements and providing prompt responses ensures minimal risks and streamlined operations. As Claassen says, "The successful execution of a project is the collective goal of the stakeholders.
“Trafo Power Solutions, in partnership with TMC Transformers from Italy, offers top-tier dry-type transformers, delivering quality and reliability. As the world shifts towards rapid infrastructural developments, such collaborations and expertise will only become more valuable,” Claassen says.
