UON Director and Chief Operations Officer, Kenny Keogh said the WA company has delivered turnkey solutions for off-grid infrastructure throughout the State’s resources sector for more than 24 years.
“The continued reinvestment into our solutions has been outpaced by demand as our clients are making instant savings,” Mr Keogh said.

UON’s history of innovation and solutions encompasses technology across its production, hire, construction, maintenance, parts and service, and operational support divisions, with its products specifically built for operating in the harsh Australian environment.
Energy solutions
Whether it is a large-scale power station, at-scale water management activities, site support services, workshop and facilities power, or isolated dewatering pumps, UON has the full turn-key energy solutions required for established operations, to support expanding or relocating projects and full greenfield developments.
Developed by the research and development team at UON’s Malaga facilities and built specifically for the harsh Pilbara environment, the patented Generator Motor Controller (GMC) system is a unique, fuel-efficient, variable speed generator that eliminates the need for conventional motor starting systems. Its operational efficiency means reduced fossil fuel use and provides customers with genuine, competitive advantages over other products currently in market.
UON has partnered with TYMLEZ to provide its customers a verifiable carbon emissions reporting solution for de-watering operations. The fully verified, secure, and immutable emissions reporting technology can be deployed across client dewatering activities.
Dewatering
From a stand-alone dewatering pump, turkey’s nests, floating pontoons, standpipe applications, waste tailings pumping, potable water or complete borefields, UON is able to develop and scale water management solutions to support its customers.
