Compressed Air System for Groundbreaking Mining Solutions
Groundbreaking Mining Solutions (GMS) selected Nessco Pressure Systems to design, supply and install a compressed air distribution system for its new workshop in Forrestdale, Western Australia.
GMS has supported the Australian mining industry with specialist services and quality parts since 2010. Its new 1,538.5 m² workshop required a compressed air system that could deliver the airflow needed across multiple work areas.
Designing the compressed air distribution system
Our team assessed the workshop layout, compressor capacity and airflow requirements before designing the new system.
We recommended a 40 mm ring main with 25 mm twin-outlet droppers. The ring main design helped distribute compressed air efficiently throughout the workshop while supporting consistent airflow at each outlet.
The system included 22 droppers fitted with Infinity Zero Condensate Reducing Tees. These help prevent condensate within the main airline from reaching connected equipment and tools.
Supporting higher airflow requirements
Some areas of the workshop required higher flow rates than standard outlets could provide.
To meet these requirements, NPS designed custom outlets using components from the Infinity range. These incorporated quick-release couplings and high-flow Minsup connections to suit the workshop’s operational requirements.
By considering these requirements during the design stage, we could provide the appropriate connection and airflow at each point of use.
Installation, commissioning and compliance
NPS supplied and installed the complete compressed air distribution system before testing and commissioning it for operation.
Our team also completed the required air receiver inspection and supported its registration with WorkSafe WA.
This provided GMS with one compressed air partner for the system design, installation, commissioning and air receiver compliance requirements.
