#  Solomon Direct Train Loading 

- **Client:** Fortescue
- **Location:** Pilbara, Western Australia
- **Date:** 2019
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  ### Project Scope

EMtek assisted Fortescue to extend the CV801 Kings Valley OPF stacking yard conveyor to the CV902 train load out conveyor, bypassing the RC901 Reclaimer. Utilising direct train loading from King Valley OPF allowed for a 6,500tph train loading rate from the extended stacking yard conveyor CV081 during planned extensive Reclaimer maintenance and unscheduled Reclaimer breakdowns and during periods where blending between different ore materials were accepted. EMtek’s scope included the engineering, detailed design and shop detailing of the new CV803 conveyor, Loading Hopper over CV803 and transfer tower for discharge onto CV902.

 

### Major Work Inclusions

- HAZID and HAZOP reviews.
- 3D Models with 2D arrangement drawings and shop detailed drawings.
- Electrical engineering associated with a new switch room and modifications to the existing TLO switch room.
- Equipment data sheets and scopes of supply for procurement of major components.
- BOM and scope of works for fabrication and installation packages for earthworks, SMP and E&I.
- DEM modelling of chutes.
- Extension of the fire water and wash down water systems.
- Modifications to the plant control system, including functional specification and required programming.
- Update of the capital cost estimate.
- Technical support during fabrication, installation and commissioning.
- Geotech investigations.
