Overview

The Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine (AITHM) at James Cook University is a world-class research facility dedicated to the study of tropical diseases, biosecurity and public health. To support the institute’s critical operations, JCU required a highly reliable and redundant power supply system capable of maintaining continuous operation of its standby generators.

Scope of Works

• Design and installation of a high-integrity fuel management system to maintain standby generator fuel supplies.
• Development of a bespoke control system providing both manual and fully automated operation.
• Integration of advanced alarm, alert and event logging features for fault diagnosis and performance monitoring.
• Collaboration with NQ Petro and KAC Generators to ensure full system compatibility and reliability.

Key Outcomes

Haz-Elec Industries developed a tailored control solution that ensures redundancy, reliability and comprehensive operational visibility. The system enables JCU’s AITHM facility to maintain generator readiness and uninterrupted power continuity for critical research infrastructure. The technologies and automation principles applied in this project can be scaled for broader industrial and remote monitoring applications, reinforcing Haz-Elec’s expertise in intelligent control and fuel management systems.
