Surface and underground materials handling systems including conveyor equipment, bins, stockpiles, crushing, stacking, reclaim, dewatering and tramp removal systems. Conveyor equipment installations.
Services can be provided for the following areas:
Option Analysis: Developing preliminary arrangements for consideration, with the intent of optimising preferred arrangements to minimise system complexity and reduce capital outlay.
Definition: Engineering to establish design criteria and duty requirements, providing the basis for calculations and modelling of the conveyor and surge capacity systems. Duty requirements determined by use of in-house developed methodology.
Analysis: Conveyor power and tension calculation using static and dynamic assessment tools;
Stockpile / surge and conveyor optimisation and modelling using a number of in-house procedures and proprietary packages are used depending on complexity;
Discrete element modelling (DEM) of conveyor transfer chutes and surge equipment.
Drafting: Development of system configurations and equipment layouts to assist with mine planning and construction plus communication with suppliers and constructors.
Procurement: Preparation of tender packages, tender evaluation, supplier negotiations and contract formation, plus project management and expediting of equipment supply.
Cost: Preparation of capital and operating cost estimates taking into account component life and overhaul strategies.
Construction: Project management and scheduling services for site activities.
Operational Support: Capability bottleneck assessments, failure analysis. Assessment and implementation of improvement plans. Inventory assessment and capital procurement plans to support ongoing operations. AS1755 safety audits.
