January 2014
Rio Tinto’s Alcan Gove operations are located on the Gove Peninsular in northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Our client identified that the plant was experiencing product loss and dust emissions at a juncture of two conveyors transporting ore to the harbour. The dust emission issues were due to inefficiencies within the transfer station. Walz Group was engaged to upgrade the export conveyor system and transfer station to achieve a targeted reduction in visible dust generation of 85%.

DRAG

Walz Scope included: 

  • Pre-assembly and installation of a new BMA supplied bridge and mounting stools, plus the installation of new pipes, brackets, cable trays and existing equipment; 
  • Removal of all existing mechanical, electrical, fixture’s, pipes, feed well as required from the existing bridge structure to facilitate its safe removal; 
  • Supply and installation of new pipes, valves, cables and fixtures that could not be re-used from the existing bridge; 
  • Supply of scaffold and temporary support frames; 
  • Commissioning assistance; 

 With the support of our subcontractors and a dedicated Walz crew, all works were completed without incident and the coal thickener bridge was back online as per the schedule.
