Skills/services demonstrated
- Multi-scope program delivery — tailings, firewater, stormwater, transmission pumps, process airlines and batch plant support handled as one integrated engagement
- Live infrastructure relocation — underground pipework and fire hydrant relocated without disrupting site safety systems
- Pre-fabrication efficiency — HDPE piping pre-spooled off-site for new RO tanks before installation, reducing on-site installation time
- Shutdown-window tie-in execution — new RO pipework and tanks connected into an existing, live RP plant within a fixed outage
- Civil support works — concrete slab works for relocated fire infrastructure, plus trenching and backfilling
- Full quality and compliance documentation — ITPs, MDRs, weld procedures and hydro test records delivered as a complete package
- HDPE fabrication and welding — supply and welding of piping to support multiple systems across the one site
