Sample Landmark Projects and Accomplishments:

• Zinifex, this customer urgently required 6500m of 3C x 185mm2 11kV SWA Power Cable in 8 weeks lead time. During that time, none among the local suppliers was able to meet their requirement.  WW Cables jumped in to take this challenge and successfully managed to deliver the entire quantity to the Tasmania Project Site in less than 6 weeks from the date of receipt of order.

• Downer Engineering, the Melbourne Airport’s new landing field project was another milestone for our company. WW Cables proudly managed to supply 6800m of 3C x 240mm2 22kV Aluminium power cable in exactly 2 days before the 8 weeks required lead time. Incidentally, the drum was excessively larger than the normal transport capacities in terms of road and bridge accessibilities. As usual, we exhausted every avenue to resolve this issue and managed to lobby the local government to grant us a special permission to make this exceptional long lengths packing requirement possible.

• Rio Tinto,

1. Cape Lambert Project, WW Cables has once again proven its capability to supply 1000m of 3C x 300mm2 XLPE/Double Brass Taped/SWA 33kV power cable. Despite of the shipment’s complications involved due to its massive size   and heavy weight, we successfully tackled this challenge and managed to deliver the quality cable to Rio Tinto as they expected.

2. Paraburdoo, this recently supplied cable to the mining site was another milestone and a huge challenge for our company as well as to other major cable suppliers.  WW Cables was the unanimous winner to supply the 2650m of 3C 300mm2 + 3E 50mm2 0.6/1kV VSD cable with additional specifications such as 110 degrees insulation temperature rating, a current carrying capacity of 650A and a minimum bending radius of 630mm. This special and extremely difficult requirement had put off most of the participating tenderers but except WW Cables.

• EIW Kewdale, our company had this great challenge and opportunity to supply 1500m of 70mm2 Type 241 11kV Trailing Cable which was shipped directly from our Shanghai factory to the project site in South Africa within the required lead time. On this instance, we at WW Cables have prided ourselves to accomplish such another milestone in supplying the cables to the other side of the globe.

• United Group Limited, it is such an honor for WW Cables to have been granted a Letter of Award from a multinational organization, like United Group. We have recently been awarded to supply a 1060m of 1C 800mm2 22kV Power Cable for their Tamar Valley Power Station Project in Tasmania. We believe that the “spread of word of mouth” regarding the professionalism and excellent service across our company was the main criteria in the customer’s selection process of supplier. Here at WW Cables, we always strive to exceed our customers’ expectations in terms of the high quality of our products and our timely mannered delivery service. With this recent acknowledgement, it is now appropriate for our company to stand up among the crowd and beam ourselves with pride in providing world class products and service to our customers.

• Broad Spectrum, WW Cables had the opportunity to supply medium voltage power cables to the Brisbane Water Recycling Project that will enable to operate three (3) water dams. These cables were specially manufactured based on our customer’s requirement and specifications for both 3C 185mm2 XLPE/PVC 6.6kV and 1C 500mm2 XLPE/PVC 6.6kV. On this occasion, we have succeeded again in the delivery of a high quality cable on site with the required lead time. It was also significant for us to have been involved in an environmental project like this.

• Department of Defence -Lavarack Barracks, the recent supply of 3C 240mm2 Al/XLPE/HDPE/Nylon/PVC 11kV medium voltage cable to the military force was another challenge and accomplishment for WW Cables. Having supplied numerous types of cables for the military in the past, precision is always important when dealing with our customer. We were totally confident in delivering the same top quality cables and services.  The special construction of the cable included the Nylon sheath between the HDPE inner sheath and the PVC outer sheath. The cables were delivered right on time as expected.

• Yarra Tram –Victoria, the recently supplied 1C 400mm2 LV Feeder Cable to the railway company was a total challenge for us considering the customer’s extra requirements in the cable construction. These are to provide LSHF insulation with a temperature rating of 110ºC and a Tinned Copper Rope Laid screen with both meeting  the specified Minimum Bending Radius of 352mm. As a result, the customer was very satisfied with the high quality of the finished product and also on this occasion, WW Cables on time delivery performance has been exceeded once again.

• Cadia East Gold Mine –Orange NSW, an opportunity arose to supply 3km of 3C 185mm2 Cu/XLPE /SWA/PVC 11kV Red Sheathed power cable to the mining site of Cadia East. Considering the large quantity of the order, WW Cables had to utilise its proven outstanding logistical management in terms of manufacturing and delivery capacities, so as to exceed customer’s requirements and expectations. As a result of our great team effort in supplying not only a high quality product but more importantly with the exceeded lead time down to 8 weeks delivered to site. The customer’s positive feedback was very inspiring to all of us.

• James Cook University – Townsville QLD, WW Cables was confident to tackle the challenge in the supply of a 4km 3C 240mm2 Al/XLPE/CWS/HDPE/Nylon/PVC 11kV TRIPLEX power cable to this academic institution. The customer’s special requirement was to provide a 13.1kA/s copper wire screen for this TRIPLEX medium voltage cable. Due to our excellent manufacturing and logistical capabilities, we successfully supplied another high quality cable along with our well known on time delivery.

• Downer EDI – Boddington Gold Mine WA,  an excellent opportunity to supply an 1800m of  1C 240mm2 Cu/XLPE/PVC  6.6kV to this mining site was a proof our expanding coverage in the WA mining sector. An effective means to gauge our company’s position in the cable market is through repeat business with previous and satisfied customers of WW Cables.

• Eneabba Mining Site –WA, the increasing popularity of WW Cables’ Duarareel Reeling and Trailing Cable range has given us the opportunity to supply a 300m of high quality Type 260 50mm2 11kV RT cable to this mining site in Eneabba, WA. The level of difficulty required to manufacture this rare cable was to provide armour consisting of steel ropes while maintaining its much needed flexibility. We are proud to say that this is a testament of another happy and satisfied customer that we regularly look after in terms of their cable needs.

• Sino Iron  Project - Cape Preston WA, this is totally a landmark for WW Cables with the recent successful manufacturing of a 1C 300mm2 220kV Extra High Voltage Power Cable for the ongoing Sino Iron Project  in WA. We were confident the moment we received this very challenging inquiry from a multi- national Engineering company to manufacture such a massive cable as we have all the support and capability to manufacture up to 500kV Power Cable with a 750kV laboratory testing capacity. The end result of this complicated cable supply requirement has paid all our effort by delivering a high quality Extra High Voltage Power Cable in just a short timeframe.
