Industrial and resources infrastructure
Read how EIC Activities is adding value to CIMIC Group’s industrial and resources infrastructure projects.
Working with Thiess
Oyu Tolgoi Boxcut and Decline – Gobi Desert, Mongolia
Challenge Construction ventilation optimisation
Solution EIC Activities optimised ventilation for drill and blast construction of twin 6.5km declines. The team participated in value engineering meetings with selected vendors and assured technical system compliance and the introduction of design enhancements. The solution reduced fan power (50%), heating (20%) and ensured capital cost remained to budget.
Working with Sedgman
Mine infrastructure tender – Pilbara, Australia
Challenge Earthworks strategy optioneering
Solution EIC Activities reviewed geotechnical data and identified where clays and weak to low strength rock allowed cost effective excavation. The revised strategy also identified material for re-compaction without treatment and reduced overall earthworks and the borrow quantity to zero achieving cost savings of around 20%.
