Nyrstar Peer Review for Super Hopper Structural Upgrade
AEP Elical was engaged to provide a peer review of the design of proposed modifications to the supporting structure for the proposed new super hopper. AEP Elical independently confirmed the design by Hatch. This review process included a site visit, an engagement session with Hatch and review of design deliverables.
AEP Elical was engaged to undertake a structural assessment of Hatch designs for the new launder and tapping floor (replacing the plant installed during Transformation). Later on, AEP was engaged to undertake additional scope including design of the fishtail walkways, new southern and northern laydown platforms, and clash checks for the monorail system.
AEP Elical was engaged to undertake a concept study, followed by detailed design of structural modifications required to provide access for slag removal under the Slag Caster tail end support frame. As part of this project, AEP Elical undertook a structural integrity audit for the TSL Slag Caster Support Structure as well as additional scope in replacement of existing primary beam in the TSL plant and shedder plates to lengthen design life.
Nyrstar Port Pirie (Nyrstar) engaged AEP Elical to undertake Concept Design and Detailed Engineering Design for the Slag Caster Bin Discharge Chute.
AEP Elical was engaged for the detailed design of a number of modifications to the newly commissioned TSL Furnace Building.
AEP Elical was engaged to provide a peer review of the design of proposed modifications to the supporting structure for the proposed new super hopper.
This project included the upgrade of the lead smelting facility and introduction of the advanced metal recovery facility at Nyrstar's Port Pirie operations.
AEP Elical was engaged to undertake detailed design for modifications to the slag caster fume hoods. These modifications were required to provide clearance for a launder cleaning machine to be transported via the Monorails to/from the new northern and southern platform via the new launders.
