Underground Utility Fleet for New Mine
Project: To develop its newest mine, the Nickel Rim project in Skead, Ontario, Xstrata required a complete new package of underground mining utility equipment. The program called for design, fabrication, commissioning and training for a total of 20 pieces including scissor lifts, crane trucks, shotcrete haulers, shotcrete sprayers, anfo IT modules and fuelling stations.
Challenge: While Xstrata’s equipment and support needs were well within Marcotte’s normal capabilities, our team was challenged to meet a very tight timeframe for delivery to get Nickel Rim on-stream within the project budget while meeting Xstrata’s high standards of safety and productivity.
Success: While Xstrata’s equipment and support needs were well within Timberland’s normal capabilities, our team was challenged to meet a very tight timeframe for delivery to get Nickel Rim on-stream within the project budget while meeting Xstrata’s high standards of safety and productivity.
