Project Successes: Took a legacy project that was started in 2021 through SOW development, AFE Approval, construction including supervision, solutions to RFI’s, receiving and processing invoices, change orders, design questions and resolution, and Commissioning. The project was brought in on time, under budget and with zero safety incidents. The project was a complex mix of electrical, instrumentation, piping and mechanical apparatus including pumps, valves, instruments, piping and erection of a steel building for weather protection. A complicated task that was achieved by assembling a dedicated commissioning team made up of consultants, engineers and specialists. The facility, a Tailings Thickener Flocculation Upgrade enabled more recovery, substantially less polymer use and better management by the mill operators. Project budget $1.19M.
