Electra Mining 2024 Exhibition

2 – 6 September 2024 JHB Expo centre – Stand P43 - outside on the promenade

This year we exhibited and showcased our latest project in Australia by means of a UNIQUE VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE.

Designed to be both educational and engaging, the VR experience provided users and opprotunutity to explore the two, 18 cell cooling towers which stretch over 200 metres, quite an impressive structure to say the least.

The VR experience incorporated interactive elements, inviting users to don a pair of goggles and to press a virtual button, triggering a scissor lift to elevate them for a broader perspective of the cooling tower structure from the ground up, with an exhilarating bungee jump finish at the end.

IWC’s subsidiary company, IWC Australasia have been instrumental in the design implementation and construction of the two new pultruded cooling towers with the support of its sub-contractor, UGL. Nestled near Biloela in central Queensland, the power station is a major contributor to Australia’s electricity grid. 

The two IWC cooling towers represent a change in construction methodology from the previously built wooden towers. These new pultruded GRP cooling towers offer a host of advantages including reduced construction times.

Products on display included drift eliminators, cooling tower fill, nozzles and sprayers as well as heat exchangers and an EWK064, which is part of our extensive range of package cooling towers.
