iPUT personnel undertook survey, geotech, electrical, mechanical, structural and civil design and prepared all tender documents and then performed all detailed engineering, design and project management to see the project to a successful conclusion.
Thiess operated a major workshop facility in the upper Hunter Valley providing Fabrication, Maintenance and Construction capabilities to the Coal Mining industry in the Hunter Valley. We were awarded the Management contract for the facility to provide full Project, Construction and General Management services to Thiess for all their construction works in the mining industry in the Hunter Valley.
During our two year contract for these services to the facility we were successful in securing major projects in a number of mines in the Hunter Valley and turned the facility from an operation which had suffered a number of years of negative results to one which showed strong positive returns for the duration of our contract, and providing Thiess with a saleable asset.
iPUT’s principals implemented and operated a full conveyor maintenance management system for Kenmare Mine in the Bowen basin, Qld. See www.iput.com.au/projects/ken-oc. This produced significant gains for the mine from the performance based services provision contract entered into. A 24 hour operational crew of typically 30 personnel were engaged to provide maintenance and capital upgrade conveyor system services as the mine development process and longwall installation occurred. This contract was regarded as highly successful by all parties, but was terminated after 2 years due to a buried longwall and a somewhat adversarial acquisition of the mine by a neighbour.
Design construct project to supply longwall module sleds and equipment. Modular sled design developed for fast track construction. Fully assembled and tested prior to transport underground. Multiple manufacture sites to allow very tight schedule to be met.
In addition to the above projects, many minor projects and investigations have been conducted across multiple mine sites ranging from provision of better access to conveying and washery capacity upgrades and major repairs.
We have also been requested to provide shutdown planning, construction management, and auditing / review / overview functions for projects / maintenance activities undertaken directly by our clients.
