Project History
MINING SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
Scope
Mining Unit development and Wet concentrator front end upgrade. (Oversize screening and Deslimes with stacking, slimes management and plant services.)
Description
The Greenfields component involved a bespoke mining system which Wave (as EPCM) designed from scratch. This involved concept development and assessment, process design with water and mass balance, PFD and P&ID design, plant integration design, design and drafting, international R&D and sourcing (Sourcing was for bespoke equipment fabricated abroad), logistics, implementation and commissioning, as well as follow up R&D work.
Upgrade of screening and De-sliming plant:
- EPCM on the Processing plant upgrade: to accommodate the new mining unit’s supply and delivery. This included revising the flowsheet, water and energy balance, mass balance and plant SMP and E&I design as well the required code updates and Historian set-up. All brown field work was designed by Wave and the implementation works scoped, tendered and implemented through the Owner.
New Mining Unit Development:
- Concept development and assessment, process design with water and mass balance, PFD and P&ID design, plant integration design, design and drafting, international R&D and sourcing, logistics, implementation and commissioning, as well as follow up R&D work.
Wave was responsible for site execution management and the integration of the mining unit to the plant on commissioning of all disciplines. Wave also developed the Standard Operating Procedures, maintenance procedures and a maintenance facility as well as the isolation matrix for its safe operation, along with on-site training.
