Project Overview
To successfully complete the project al the height of the Covid 19 pandemic which impacted all project facets. Challenges were overcome by a highly motivated project team facing and conquering these challenged head on whist under severe duress to do so.
Structural framing relatively simplistic with primary objective to provide access to the various areas of the Biox plant as well as piping support system. Since 85% of piping was HDPE, a wide variety of additional structural supports were needed to compliment this fact. Having to incorporate these supports into the other structures whilst keeping weights to a minimum and ensuring and aesthetic pleasing final plant layout was challenging. The project entailed detailing, Fabricating and Constructing a Gold Processing Biox Plant in partnership between Metso: Outotec, ADP Marine & Modular, Lycopodium Group, and Betterect.
Betterect was the main SMPP contractor and were responsible for all detailing, fabrication and site installation of structural steel, platework piping and mechanical equipment
This was a technically challenging project due to the stringent NOT requirements and the quality level of the fabrication by Betterect was extremely high. Overall it was a successful project with the equipment currently in operation.
