The AIL Mining Team was contracted to design and supply Super-Cor “protection” structures to an oil sands mine site just north of Fort McMurray, AB. The structures were designed to protect pedestrian and vehicular traffic from debris (belt peel-off) falling from overhead conveyors.
Unique design challenges
In this application, our engineers were faced with some very unique design challenges. In addition to the typical mine site requirements, the structures also had to conform to the various building codes. A comprehensive 3D analysis also produced more than 700 reactions that were used in the structure and foundation designs.
A moveable asset
As mine sites are often on the move, these structures can also move with them, resulting in a reduced environmental footprint and a better bottom line for the owner.
