Delta Rock Powering New Paper Mill

Delta Rock is proud to have been successful in winning the contract to implement the complete electrical infrastructure for a new, state-of-the-art paper mill plant. This project, represents a substantial investment in the local area and underscores Delta Rock’s expertise in delivering complex, large-scale electrical installations.

New State-of-the-Art Paper Mill

The new paper mill, poised to become a vital regional asset, will feature cutting-edge technology, including eight advanced converting machines and a high-capacity paper mill machine. Delta Rock’s comprehensive scope of work encompasses the electrical installation, from the high-voltage (HV) substations down to installing the complete lighting system and intricate fibre optic communications systems to each control panel system.

Scope of Electrical Installation

A key component of the project involves the electrical installation of a robust 33kV substation and associated HV switchgear. This infrastructure will ensure a reliable and stable power supply to the entire facility. Delta Rock’s engineers will install the mains power distribution network, ensuring seamless power delivery to all machines and converting lines.

Lighting for a Safe and Efficient Environment

The project also includes the complete lighting solution for the facility, encompassing both standard lighting to ensure a safe and productive environment and emergency lighting systems. The emergency lighting, designed to illuminate safe route exits in the event of a power failure or emergency, will adhere to the highest safety standards, guaranteeing the well-being of all personnel.

Implementing Communications between Critical Control Panel System

At the heart of the mill’s operation is a sophisticated fibre optic communications network, which will also be installed by Delta Rock. This network will connect to each control panel, facilitating real-time data exchange and enabling precise, synchronised control of the entire production process. In the event of a fault or operational disruption at any stage, the communication system will instantly relay information to all connected control panels, triggering a coordinated shutdown to prevent damage and safeguarding operations.

This integrated approach highlights Delta Rock’s commitment to delivering not only electrical installations, but also intelligent, interconnected systems that optimise efficiency and safety. The implementation of fibre optic technology, known for its high bandwidth and immunity to electromagnetic interference, is crucial for ensuring reliable and rapid data transmission in the demanding industrial environment of a paper mill.

Managing Complex Industrial Electrical Installations

“We are delighted to have been awarded this prestigious contract,” stated a Pete Arnold, Operations Director for Delta Rock. “This project showcases our ability to handle complex, large-scale electrical installations, and we are committed to delivering a solution that meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. The investment will create jobs and a boost for the local economy, and we’re proud to be a part of this significant development.”

Co-ordinating Project Stages, to Meet Operational Deadlines

This is a lengthy installation, which will see Delta Rock’s team on site for several months, across the various project stages.

Delta Rock’s team of highly skilled engineers and technicians are working closely with various professional trades and the customer to ensure the project is delivered on time and within budget. Our expertise in electrical engineering, automation, and project management will be instrumental in the successful completion of this new plant investment.
