Overview
A mine is a moving load in a punishing environment, often thousands of kilometres from a supplier’s front door. Equipment specified for a switchroom in a capital city does not survive it. Tyree builds mining grade assemblies for the conditions and for the logistics.
What mining and quarrying need from their electrical supply
The environment is the first design input. Abrasive dust, constant vibration from mobile plant and blasting, ambient temperatures well above standard design assumptions, and in coastal or processing environments, corrosive atmospheres that attack the enclosure before they reach the equipment inside.
The load moves. Pits extend, processing plant expands, and supply that was correct at the start of the mine plan is in the wrong place three years later. Mobile and skid-mounted assemblies let the supply follow the operation rather than the operation working around the supply.
Then there is distance and downtime. A failure on a remote site costs production by the hour, and response depends entirely on whether the supplier can get people and parts to you. Tyree manufactures locally and supports what it builds with a field service team.

Why mine operators and contractors choose Tyree
MANUFACTURED HERE
Made in Australia, for Australia
Manufactured locally for these conditions, not just Australian-branded. Designed against Australian ambient, dust and corrosion realities rather than adapted from an export specification.
TESTED IN HOUSE
Our own testing laboratories
Routine, special and type testing in our own labs, ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certified, with full material and process traceability on every product.
BUILT FOR THE SITE
Rugged by specification, not by option
Corrosion resistant finishes, marine grade and stainless cubicles, self bunding and enhanced protection specified for mining duty from the outset.
AFTER DELIVERY
Field service, not just supply
On-site installation support, commissioning, training and in-field testing, then ongoing service, maintenance and technical support.
