In 2018 Sibanye Stillwater decided to upgrade their mill feed conveyors at their Beatrix operation. The old conveyors were deteriorating and needed to be replaced. TLJ was tasked to produce shop detail drawings for the new mill feed conveyors.

Project deliverables: Shop detail drawings for 2x mill feed conveyors. These included tail end, gantries, trestles, take-up, head end & drive. These conveyors were commissioned late 2018 / early 2019.

Name: Mill feed conveyor

Sibanye Stillwater required and an alternative method to conduct their weekly shaft exams one of their shafts. Due to the time-consuming process of attaching & detaching a conventional underslung basket, an alternative way was required.

TLJ designed a cage with an open type top deck and a conventional bottom deck. This conveyance can be used for shaft exams, personnel transportation & slinging.

Project deliverables: Shop detail drawings on cage & bridle.

Name: Cage & Bridle.

Sibanye Stillwater – Cooke Operations

Sibanye Stillwater required the installation of three new 400NB pump columns in one of their shafts. The shaft did not have enough space against the sidewall to install these new columns.

To overcome this problem the new pump columns were placed between the rock & man compartments, something never done before. Installation and maintenance of these columns were not possible with the conveyances installed on the shaft. TLJ was assigned with the design & shop detailing of all the pipe work, bearer sets & a new pipe equipping rig. The new conveyance was to serve as a pipe equipping rig, single deck cage and shaft exam rig. With the aid of point cloud scan technology, TLJ could ensure pinpoint accuracy of all the high-pressure tie in piping.

Name: 3x 400NB Pump columns & pipe equipping rig.

Project deliverables: Shop detail drawings on bearer sets, piping & new pipe equipping rig.
