With 131 locations stocking a total of 5,000 MW portable generating capacity, Aggreko International claims to be the largest worldwide provider of short-term and long-term power, offering turnkey solutions for a range of mining industry use. The Texas, USA-based company offers services from project electrical specification, through engineering, installation and commissioning, to operation and maintenance. Aggreko says it can bridge a full supply gap if the grid’s main supply to a new project site is delayed or if there is a power failure. Where additional power is required on an occasional basis or in a location distant from the supply network, an Aggreko system can also be the solution, such as when moving a shovel or walking a dragline. www.aggreko.com
