BHP - Electrical Engineering for Modular Pump Houses & Substation
Furano successfully delivered the electrical design scope for BHP’s E-House and pump stations at the Jansen Potash Mine located in Saskatchewan, with a focus on engineering support, system integration, and stakeholder coordination.
The scope included the electrical design and site integration of a prefabricated E-House and three booster pump stations, each equipped with 4.16kV switchgear, HVAC systems, and auxiliary power infrastructure. A fourth pump house was designed to support pump installations only, without a dedicated electrical room.
Furano led the coordination between OEMs, engineering consultants, the client, and existing site infrastructure to provide electrical infrastructure, coordinate cable routing, and support installation and commissioning efforts.
