Stefanutti Stocks Civils KZN increased their participation in the growth of the Richards Bay region, by recently being awarded the Richards Bay Minerals (MSP) Tailings Plant Project. The award is the culmination of more than 16 months of pricing and intensive negotiations. The 12-month contract was ultimately awarded in June 2009, with mobilisation of resources following soon after in July 2009.
Scope
The MSP Tailings Plant is being constructed to enable the client to extract more valuable minerals from the surrounding dunes more efficiently.
The project is split into four areas, viz. Area 200, 300, 400 and 600, with a total forecast volume of concrete of approximately 10 000m3.
Area 200 - Feed Preparation Area
• Foundations and columns to three overhead conveyor systems.
• Foundation structures to three transfer towers.
• Extensive structural modifications to the Road Hopper Bridge.
• 350m, reinforced concrete retaining walls.
Area 300 & 400 - Wet and Dry Plant Areas
• Foundation structures to main building.
• Water collection tank, plinths, floors and launders.
• Construction of intermediate reinforced concrete floors and staircases to six storey structural steel electrical building.
Area 600 – Water Treatment Plant
• Three water clarifiers.
• Two cone settlers.
• A clear water tank.
Despite serious start-up delays, the team has shown tremendous commitment in overcoming these challenges to currently report being on programme, with progress at 30% completed. This commitment, under extreme safety and procedural pressures, is further reflected in an excellent safety record and a satisfied client.
“Congratulations to the team at RBM on your ongoing commitment” says Wade Leaf, contracts director. “No doubt this will once again result in yet another successful Stefanutti Stocks project in the Richards Bay Area”.
