Diesel Power Stations
Diesel Power Stations Built for Remote Operations
Silverstone designs, builds and maintains diesel power stations for mining, energy, infrastructure and industrial operations across Australia.
From temporary site power to permanent generation, our systems are engineered around the load, operating environment and demands of the site. Our team manages engineering, equipment supply, construction, installation and commissioning, with maintenance and field support available once the station is running.
Whether it’s a new power station, additional generation capacity or an upgrade to existing infrastructure, we build around what the operation actually needs.
Included in the Service
Built for Life Off Grid
Remote operations don’t have the luxury of simply switching to another supply when something goes wrong.
Diesel generation remains an important part of powering mine sites, processing facilities, construction projects and other operations beyond established grid infrastructure.
Silverstone designs diesel power stations around the realities of these environments, considering load changes, redundancy, access, maintenance and future capacity from the beginning.
The result is a system built around the operation, not just the equipment.
From Design
to Running Power
A diesel power station has to do more than meet a number on a load calculation. It needs to work within the site, respond to changing demand and be practical to operate and maintain.
That’s why our engineering and delivery teams stay connected throughout the project.
01
Understand the Demand
We assess current and future loads, operating conditions, site constraints and existing infrastructure before determining what the power station needs to deliver.
02
Design the System
Our engineers develop the power station design, equipment configuration and supporting electrical infrastructure around the requirements identified for the site.
03
Build & Install
Generators, switchrooms, transformers, fuel systems and associated infrastructure are coordinated and installed by our project and field teams.
04
Test & Commission
The completed system is tested and commissioned under operating conditions before being brought into service.
05
Support the Operation
Once the station is running, Silverstone can provide scheduled maintenance, fault response, technical support and upgrades as site requirements change.
We Don't Just Supply the Equipment
A diesel power station is more than a collection of generators.
How the system is engineered, installed, commissioned and maintained has a direct impact on how it performs once the site depends on it.
Silverstone brings those disciplines together. Our engineering and field teams work within the same Power business, so responsibility doesn’t disappear once equipment arrives on site.
Diesel Power Station FAQs
What diesel power station services does Silverstone provide?
Silverstone provides engineering and design, equipment supply, construction, installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance and operational support for diesel power stations across Australia.
Can Silverstone deliver diesel power stations for remote mine sites?
Yes. Remote mining and off grid operations are a key part of our Power capability. We design and deliver diesel power stations around site loads, operating conditions, redundancy requirements and future demand.
Does Silverstone provide diesel power station upgrades and expansions?
Yes. We can upgrade existing power stations, add generation capacity and modify supporting infrastructure as operational requirements change.
Can diesel generation be combined with BESS or other power sources?
Yes. Diesel generation can form part of a broader hybrid power system incorporating battery storage and other generation sources.
Where renewable energy infrastructure is required, Silverstone Power can work alongside Silverstone Renewables to develop the wider system.
Does Silverstone maintain diesel power stations?
Yes. Our Power team provides scheduled maintenance, fault response and operational support for diesel generation equipment and supporting infrastructure.
