CANADIAN BUILT OEM

Founded in 2005, TES Inc. is a privately owned Canadian company specializing in the design, manufacture, service and rebuilding of underground mining equipment.

Our operations are based in Chelmsford, in the Greater Sudbury mining district. Working in one of Canada’s established hard-rock mining regions has given our company direct exposure to the operating requirements of underground mines and the people responsible for keeping equipment available.

We understand that mining equipment decisions extend beyond the initial purchase. A machine must complete the required work, fit the operating environment, meet applicable safety requirements and be practical to maintain throughout its service life.

TES Inc. brings equipment engineering, manufacturing, electrical systems, mechanical services and parts support together to address these requirements. We work with mine operators, contractors and maintenance teams on new equipment, custom applications, repairs and equipment life-extension projects.

UNDERGROUND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING

TES Inc. designs and manufactures the SPARTA line of purpose-built articulated underground utility vehicles and the MineReach Series of compact multi-function underground support vehicles. Our equipment supports lifting, material handling, personnel transport, charging, maintenance and other underground applications.

Our engineering and fabrication teams also develop custom equipment solutions where standard configurations do not meet the operating requirement.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT & SYSTEMS

Our electrical division designs and manufactures standard and custom power distribution and control equipment for underground mining operations.

TES Inc. also provides electrical equipment maintenance, conversions, repairs and rebuilds.

This capability allows us to support mines with electrical infrastructure requirements as well as mobile equipment projects. Equipment is developed around the applicable electrical specifications, operating conditions and project requirements.

PARTS, SERVICES, REBUILDS

TES Inc. supplies replacement parts and critical spares, provides mechanical and electrical services, and undertakes component repairs and equipment rebuilds.

These capabilities support both TES-manufactured equipment and selected equipment from other manufacturers.

Whether a mine needs to restore an existing machine, source a component or plan a major rebuild, our teams can review the requirements and available support options.

HOW WE WORK WITH OUR CUSTOMERS

FROM OPERATING REQUIREMENTS TO LONG-TERM EQUIPMENT SUPPORT

A mining equipment purchase is a significant operating and capital decision. The equipment must meet the mine’s requirements, but the manufacturer must also be able to manage the engineering, production and support responsibilities that follow.

Our approach is built around direct communication, practical engineering and an understanding of the customer’s operation.

UNDERSTANDING THE REQUIREMENT

Every mine operates within a different combination of heading dimensions, access restrictions, production requirements, safety standards and maintenance resources.

Before recommending or developing equipment, we work with customers to establish the intended duty and the specifications that will determine whether the equipment is suitable.

For custom or modified equipment, this can involve reviewing dimensions, lifting requirements, attachments, operating conditions and the technical implications of the requested configuration.

Our objective is to establish a clear understanding of the work before committing to the equipment design and manufacturing scope.

SUPPORT THROUGH THE BUILD 

We recognize the importance of maintaining communication throughout the build, particularly when technical changes, component availability or production schedules affect the project.

Our responsibility continues through equipment delivery and into the operating life of the machine.

Parts availability, maintenance, component repairs and rebuild services are important considerations for customers managing equipment fleets over several years.

By combining manufacturing and aftermarket capabilities, TES Inc. can remain involved as operating requirements change and equipment moves through its service life.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE EQUIPMENT

Our company is built around the people. We value the experience our employees bring to each project and the feedback we receive from operators, maintenance personnel, engineers and mine managers. That exchange of knowledge helps us improve equipment designs, respond to changing requirements and strengthen our services.

For decades, TES Inc. has developed relationships with mining operations, contractors and industry partners. We believe those relationships are maintained through the work delivered and the support provided, not simply through the initial sale.

Our President, Kevin Whynott, continues to lead the company with this focus on practical solutions, customer relationships and long-term service.
