Mining & Resources ELV & ICT Design for Australia
Specialist ELV, ICT and security design for Australian mining camps, process plants and resource infrastructure in WA, QLD and NT — FIFO-ready, AS 1670.1 compliant and built for harsh environments.
ELV & ICT Design for Australia's Mining & Resources Sector
Australia's mining and resources sector is one of the world's largest — Western Australia alone accounts for over A$100 billion in annual resource exports. The sector drives constant demand for ELV, ICT and security design: FIFO (fly-in fly-out) accommodation camps, process plant facilities, port and logistics infrastructure, and corporate offices for mining companies in Perth, Brisbane and across WA and QLD.
ASDV Consultant serves Australia's mining sector with ELV and ICT design packages adapted to the unique requirements of resource industry projects — harsh environment specifications (IP65+, IK ratings), demountable or modular building formats, remote-site connectivity, intrinsically safe area considerations and the compressed design-to-construction programmes typical of mining capital projects.
For FIFO camps in the Pilbara, Goldfields and Queensland coal-mining regions, we produce complete ELV packages — AS 1670.1 fire alarm, PA/VA, structured cabling, CCTV for camp security, access control and satellite/LTE communications infrastructure design. Mining-sector procurement moves quickly; ASDV's 24-hour response and overnight design cycles align with this pace.
Systems We Design for Mining & Resources
- Fire detection & alarm — AS 1670.1 for FIFO accommodation, processing plants and warehouses
- PA/VA emergency voice communication — large outdoor plant areas and accommodation zones
- Structured cabling — AS/NZS 3080, harsh-environment rated (IP65 connections), fibre backbone
- CCTV camp security — perimeter monitoring, accommodation and high-value area surveillance
- Access control — camp entry management, controlled areas, vehicle management
- Remote connectivity — satellite broadband, 4G/5G site network design
- Hazardous area ELV — zone classification awareness, IP-rated and Ex-rated equipment selection
- Process plant communications — SCADA tie-in, field instrumentation coordination

Why Offshore ELV/ICT Design Works for Mining & Resources Projects
Mining-sector ELV design in Australia — particularly in Perth (WA) — commands very high rates driven by FIFO allowances and resource-sector premiums. ASDV delivers equivalent design output from our India studio at 40–60% lower cost, with no site visits required for design-only packages. Our remote delivery model is a natural fit for mining projects where the project team is itself often geographically dispersed.

Mining & Resources — ELV, ICT & Security Design FAQs
Yes — FIFO camp ELV design is one of our specialist Australian services. A typical Pilbara FIFO camp requires: AS 1670.1 fire alarm with zone-per-accommodation-block layout, PA/VA for the camp compound, CCTV for camp perimeter and common areas, access control for camp entry and controlled zones, and structured cabling (AS/NZS 3080) for the camp administration offices and recreation facilities. We also specify satellite broadband and 4G/5G connectivity infrastructure.
Australian hazardous area electrical and ELV design references AS/NZS 60079 (equivalent to IEC 60079). We identify hazardous zone classifications in coordination with the process/chemical engineer, then specify intrinsically safe (Ex i), explosion-proof (Ex d) or increased-safety (Ex e) equipment for ELV devices located in Zone 0/1/2 areas. For fire alarm in hazardous-area process plants, we specify IS (intrinsically safe) detectors and call points.
Yes — we serve mining and resources clients across all Australian resource states. Perth-based mining companies with Pilbara, Goldfields and Mid-West WA projects are our largest mining market. We also serve Brisbane-based resources companies with QLD coal, bauxite and gas projects, and Northern Territory resource development projects.
A standard FIFO camp ELV package (fire alarm, PA/VA, CCTV, access control, cabling — for a 500–1000 person camp) takes approximately 3–4 weeks from receipt of architectural/site drawings. Mining capital projects often have compressed programmes; our overnight design cycle means revision turnaround is typically 24–48 hours, helping keep the programme on track.
