D&S delivered the trunkline connection between the Beverley process plant and the Four Mile North wellfield for Heathgate Resources’ expansion project — covering site mobilisation, on-site steel fabrication and welding of a creek crossing tee frame, HDPE welding of the DN500 trunk main, valve station and instrumentation installation, hydrostatic testing, and full QA/QC and MDR handover documentation.
Heathgate Resources needed to physically connect a new deposit (Four Mile North) into their existing Beverley process plant to unlock increased production capacity — requiring a large-diameter trunk main built across terrain that included a creek crossing, delivered to a standard that would support higher throughput without compromising safety or environmental management.
D&S played a critical role in the successful execution of this expansion project.
Our responsibilities included:
- Mobilization to Site
- Personnel Onboarding to Site
- Site Supervision / Project Management
- Fabrication of Creek Crossing Tee from pipe supports and pipe restraints
- On- Site Steel Welding of Creek Crossing Tee Frame Pipe supports / Pipe Restraints
- HDPE Welding of DN500 Trunk Main
- Installation of Valve Stations and Piping Instrumentation
- Hydrostatic Testing of HDPE DN500 Trunk Main
- QA/QC Documentation and MDR Handover
This expansion project significantly boosts the Beverley Uranium Mine’s operational capacity and efficiency. By upgrading facilities, enhancing infrastructure, and expanding systems, the project ensures that the mine can handle increased production demands while maintaining high standards of safety and environmental management.
Skills/services demonstrated
- End-to-end site mobilisation — personnel onboarding and site supervision/project management delivered alongside the physical works
- Custom steel fabrication — creek crossing tee frame, pipe supports and pipe restraints fabricated specifically for the site’s terrain
- On-site structural welding — steel welding of the crossing frame and supports carried out in the field
- Large-diameter HDPE welding — DN500 trunk main welded to connect two major site assets
- Instrumentation and valve station installation — piping instrumentation integrated as part of the trunkline scope
- Testing and integrity assurance — full hydrostatic testing of the DN500 main
- Quality and compliance handover — QA/QC documentation and MDRs delivered as part of project close-out
- Expansion/brownfield capability — connecting new wellfield infrastructure into an existing operating plant to support a capacity increase
