The newly-branded NEPEAN will be unveiled at AIMEX in Sydney on September 6-9. It will be made up of Mining, Engineering & Innovation, Building & Infrastructure, and Transport divisions.
Within the newly branded NEPEAN Mining Division there are three business arms: longwall, conveyors, and power.
NEPEAN Longwall, with operations in New South Wales and Queensland, supplies capital equipment and services to the underground coal mining industry, manufacturing and refurbishing underground longwall mining equipment.
“NEPEAN Longwall combines Australian expertise and experience with global technologies to offer its clients a complete suite of underground longwall mining products and services,” Fuller said.
Products include complete longwall system packages as well as Inbye longwall coal clearance systems incorporating armoured face conveyors, stage loaders, crushers and bootends.
NEPEAN Longwall also provides complete longwall equipment overhaul and aftermarket services in Queensland and NSW.
“We also have a growing presence in the management of surfaced-based coal mine methane as well as manufacturing free-flow and gas engine-powered methane extraction systems,” Fuller said.
NEPEAN Conveyors provides fully engineered turnkey conveying and materials handling solutions, from concept to commissioning, for some of the world’s largest mining companies.
It also manufactures and markets conveyor components including pulleys, idlers, rapid advance-rapid retreat components and drive-heads, and provides onsite installation, maintenance and relocation of conveyor installations.
In Australia, NEPEAN Conveyors operates in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia, as well as in South Africa, and is now expanding into South America.
NEPEAN Power, the electrical and control system arm of the Mining Division, manufactures, supplies and overhauls custom mining and industrial electrical equipment, including switchboards, electronic products and underground mining electrical systems.
Products include an extensive range of explosion protected equipment for underground longwall and development operations, transportable substations, electrical switchrooms, switchboards, motor control centres and starters.
NEPEAN Power has facilities in NSW and Queensland.
“In support of NEPEAN’s commitment to sustainable growth and innovation, NEPEAN has outlaid $50 million in the last two years on capital expenditure and research and development initiatives aimed at providing our customers with superior products and services,” Fuller said.
The company now employs more than 1100 people worldwide and has an annual turnover of $400 million-plus.
