H&T Electric
Empowering Mines with Local Expertise and Global Standards

The mines on the North Shore of Lake Superior rely on electrical contractors residing in the main technical hub of Sudbury. Depending upon a busy and distant hub for their electrical needs creates logistical issues for them, mired with delays and the additional surcharge in transportation costs. Recognizing this gap in service, H&T Electric stepped in.

H&T Electric is a leading provider of electrical services, enhancing existing systems, implementing new technologies, installing complex systems and conducting routine maintenance. The maintenance service entails installing upgrades and providing urgent assistance on time.

“We targeted North Shore due to the lack of good local electrical services offerings in the Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie region. Now, we provide offerings that are comparable or even surpass our Sudbury competitors,” says Jacob Hunter, founder of H&T Electric.

H&T Electric’s electrical services exceed its Sudbury counterparts in another way as the local presence translates into the immediate dispatch of qualified teams during emergencies. The quick response minimizes downtime and reduces the financial impact of the disruption. This coupled with the company’s deep understanding of the local terrain, climate and mining operations allows it to offer tailored solutions that are more effective compared to firms unfamiliar with the region.

The company has a comprehensive range of services from surface plant maintenance to the installation of underground substations.

H&T Electric specializes in advanced fiber optic and networking infrastructure for underground mines and surface plants to ensure strong and reliable communication systems. The company also has expertise in PLC and DCS troubleshooting, necessary to keep client operations running smoothly.

H&T Electric's ability to customize its services was tested when it worked with a client overhauling their entire control strategy for remote mucking operations. They were managing numerous active headings while adhering to a very tight timeline. Realizing the need for help, they brought in H&T Electric to completely revamp their network and expand the fiber optic infrastructure throughout the mine. It finished the complex project, ensuring the client could execute their control strategy efficiently and on schedule.

The outcome is due to the dedication shown by the team of professionals at H&T Electric, who each excel in different areas of the trade and approach problems from a broader perspective. The experience helps the tradesmen and the technicians to seamlessly integrate into the customers’ organization, allowing H&T Electric to offer a more cohesive service while doing its job.

An additional benefit to this is H&T Electric proactively addresses the labor shortage issue by filling critical gaps through its highly qualified tradesmen. They keep the threats to productivity at bay and ensure the smooth running of operations. Their role entails helping clients with maintenance and efficiency issues that affect the production goals.

The company has also initiated collaboration with firms like Kapush Energy and TDL Tech to achieve steady growth and enhance its capabilities.

The collaborations with its industry and terrain knowledge have made H&T Electric a vital player in the North Shore mining industry. Its commitment to customer satisfaction by understanding local operations makes it the go-to choice for any mining company looking for a customized electric service.
