Ward Operations has carried out its specialist services at various basin coal mines, in addition to a number of port ship loaders around Queensland.

Submarine cable repairs

As island tourism is popular in Queensland, Ward Operations also performs specialised submarine cable joints and repairs.

Since the mid-1980s, the company has been carrying out island feeder cable repairs and terminations in the Whitsunday group of islands, including Daydream Island, Long Island, Hayman Island, Hamilton Island and South Molle Island.

High-voltage cable nitrogen purging

One of the newest services offered by Ward Operations is high-voltage cable nitrogen purging, which dries wet conductors and cables in situ.

This service enables its team of highly trained and licensed cable jointers to re-enter high-voltage joints and terminations, in order to establish entry points to pump 99% pure dry nitrogen with a dew point of -80°C through cable fillers and conductors.

The process takes place over a period of time, in order to remove any excess moisture from the cable conductors and fillers. The result is a longer cable lifecycle and a higher insulation resistance from wet conductors.

About Ward Operations

Ward Operations is equipped with a modern, fully compliant fleet of vehicles and a team of qualified paper lead jointers that are certified with Raychem, ABB and Siemens up to 132KV. The company has also worked on a range of major cable jointing projects both in Australia and overseas, with companies such as BHP, ANGLO and RIO.

Our personnel continuously train to improve their skills. By being trained and certified in a wide range of products through workshops and factory visits of various manufacturers, the team is able to implement and install joints and terminations to the highest industrial standards.
