A BPS project success story involved client side project management for the delivery of a AUD$35m raw materials handling upgrade within an operating facility. It involved nearly 800m of new enclosed belt conveyors requiring difficult crane lifts in and around existing plant. Sixteen new ceramic lined transfer chutes were required to be installed, twelve of which were to retrofit into existing transfer points. All chutes were designed to successfully transfer both iron ore pellets or wet, high clay content iron ore fines.

A series of short duration plant shutdowns were required to remove the old chute structures and install new. This required a high degree of constructability reviews, intensive and detailed planning, and effective contractor management skills. All chutes were safely and successfully installed and commissioned. To aid to project complexity, a four story high transfer tower was required to be dismantled by approximately 50% while still operating, and rebuilt with new equipment (see image).

A new 95m long, 6m high retaining wall for iron ore stockpiling was also safely installed in and around an operating stockpile area with constant movements of heavy machinery (see image).
