Sino Iron Ore Pockets
Sino Iron is located at Cape Preston, about 100km south west of Karratha in Western Australia’s resource-rich Pilbara region, where a high grade, premium iron ore concentrate is produced for export. This is Australia’s largest magnetite mining and processing operation.
Emergency works were required to be completed to rectify earlier construction works to stabilise the walls of the crusher pockets prior to the placement of the new crushers during the mine development phase.
Project Overview
Work completed involved the survey and set out on the retaining walls, the concrete coring, drilling, cable bolt installation, grouting, tensioning, testing & post grouting of cable bolts.
The works were completed drilling from below & above the pocket walls using a radio controlled mast mounted on an excavator, also with roped access wagon drills and MEWP's were used for installation and testing.
