TRAIN LOAD-OUT UPGRADE /
PROJECT SUMMARY
A sustaining capital project, a tier-1 miner’s scope comprised of the upgrade of the existing Train Load Out.
The TLO is a critical asset to the operation and recent structural integrity inspections have identified significant corrosion of the TLO Structure.
Other structural, operational and maintenance issues are known to exist. The existing structural issues have resulted in the TLO Bin operating at 50% capacity.
The project is tasked with remediating identified structural risk and improving operability and maintainability to allow the TLO to safely operate for a further 25 years at the required throughput.
SCOPE
Tier16 was engaged to provide control system design, development, integration and commissioning services.
The project scope included:
TLO control system process optimisation
Simulation of TLO process to further understand existing process
Develop a functional specification detailing improved PCS implementation
PLC, SCADA Design Review and Verification
Factory acceptance test documentation
Perform factory acceptance testing
Site acceptance testing documentation
Commissiong documentation
On-site commissioning
TECHNOLOGIES USED
Schneider PLC M58
Aveva Plant SCADA
CHALLENGES
Full off-site FAT proved invaluable in raising nuances with exist control system, that avoided trouble-shooting during commissioning.
RESULTS
A well-executed upgrade ensured operational reliability, improved efficiency, & cost savings.
