PROJECT SUMMARY
The Mine connected to the power station facility required an overburden disposal system to support its 3,500 tph finished coal facility. Christof and Helmut were involved with the design team that resolved this problem with a 65m boom, 3 stage drag conveyor system and featured a Slewing deck to allow the machine to spread material on both sides.
PROJECT INCLUDED
- Full structural and mechanical detailing in the form of detailed assemblies, including equipment designations and material lists.
- Mechanical analysis of stacker components for stress and serviceability to BS7608.
- Structural Analysis of stacker structure for stress and buckling to BS7608.
- Fatigue Analysis: Evaluation of structural stresses for nominal fatigue life capacity as indicated in BS7608.
