Powering Mining with Practical Solutions

powering mining with practical solutions

In an industry where reliability, safety, and efficiency define success, Practon Group has emerged as a trusted and transformative partner to Australia’s mining industry. Specialising in innovative electrical and engineering services, the company provides practical solutions that keep critical infrastructure operating at peak performance while reducing downtime and costs.

With decades of combined expertise across its leadership team, Practon Group brings deep knowledge of both surface and underground mining operations. From greenfield construction to ongoing site operations, the company’s track record demonstrates its ability to tackle the unique challenges of remote and demanding environments.

“Our clients trust us because we don’t just deliver equipment or services — we deliver solutions that work in the real world of mining,” says Adam Dardha of Practon Group. “We focus on safety, reliability, and efficiency, because in this industry, getting it right the first time is critical.”

Practon Group’s service offering spans maintenance, auditing, engineering, and construction. The team provides everything from capacity checks and full-site power studies to the design of control systems (PLC/SCADA) and communication networks. Their proactive approach to maintenance ensures high uptime for critical assets, while their in-house workshop capability allows for the refurbishment and custom build of electrical equipment and panels. By combining hands-on site expertise with tailored engineering solutions, Practon Group helps mining clients extend the life of their infrastructure and optimise operational performance.

A key differentiator for Practon Group is its partnership with Trafindo, one of Indonesia’s largest and most respected transformer manufacturers. As the sole Australian distributor, Practon provides access to a wide portfolio of products including oil-immersed, dry-type, padmount, and special application transformers, alongside neutral grounding resistors and instrument transformers. With low lead times, competitive pricing, and the option for custom builds, these solutions ensure mining operators have reliable, high-quality equipment to meet both current needs and future growth.

“Mining operations can’t afford long lead times or unreliable gear,” Dardha explains. “Through our partnership with Trafindo, we’re able to supply proven transformer solutions with faster delivery and real cost benefits to our clients.”

Practon’s commitment to continuous improvement and innovation underpins its success. “We’re always looking for smarter ways to solve power problems,” Dardha adds. “By challenging the status quo, we make sure our clients are getting the safest and most effective solutions possible.”

For mining operators, Practon Group represents more than an electrical services provider—it is a partner dedicated to powering operations with practical solutions that keep production moving and people safe.
