Black Rock Open Cut (BROC) Project Feasibility Study
Feasibility study into the relocation of assets to allow open cut development in the area. The relocations’ were necessary to remove the infrastructure from the BROC footprint prior to pre-strip commencing to enable business continuity and limit business interruption. The scope included:
Mine Rescue building.
ISA Mine Control Centre.
PITRAM and process control.
R62 Change house.
R62 Offices (relocation by others, not included in the scope of this Feasibility Study).
R62 Mine Substation.
Potable water tanks #2 and #3.
Cap lamp room.
Safety Store.
Parking facilities for the work force.
Access road around the Copper Concentrate Storage Shed (Dome)
The design factored in minimisation of downtime for the cut over of critical underground electrical infrastructure including the area winder. The location for such cut overs was designed to allow sufficient work crews to operate in parallel and allow the work to be completed in minimal time.
AEP Elical is excited to advise that it has recently started electrical, instrumentation and controls engineering for a surf lake for Surf Lakes Holdings. The design team includes ASPEC who are providing design management, civil, structural and mechanical engineering services. The project is located in Queensland at a site located midway between the towns of Yeppoon and Rockhampton. It is expected to be operational by mid 2023.
