PF Formation sand wash plant and Pit 4, Maroota

PF Formation runs a CDE sand wash plant rated at 400 tonnes an hour at its quarry at Maroota. A plant of that size depends on its main switchboard, and PF Formation engaged Vorick Group to build it in our own workshop: 16 modules with an ACB incomer, CT metering, MCCBs, drives and soft starters.

The Pit 4 upgrade followed, with a container switchroom, conduits across the pit, cable tray, motor and control cabling, a pump control board and the site communications.

We have maintained the plant since. The contractor that built the switchboard and cabled the pit is the one PF Formation calls for flood repairs, drive and motor replacements and PLC fault-finding, so faults are found by people who know the plant.
