Structural Mechanical Drafting for Mining Industry

 

Structural Mechanical Drafting

The team at Hamilton By Design has extensive experience in terms of design and detailing of Industrial Process and Mining industries. Over the past 20+ years we have been engage to design and develop and or upgrade projects and process for Mining on both fixed plant and mobile plant, Steel making process, Explosive manufacturing.

Our 3D parametric modelling capabilities are second to none combined with our extensive manufacturing know how in terms of both fabrication and machining, thus ensuring our design go together first time every time.

All of our projects are drawn using the latest 3D modelling software, which is ideal for complex structures and designs or detailed drawing production. Using the latest software also enables custom tailoring of any required reporting, cutting part lists, assembly part lists, cutting profiles or materials billing, as required by the project.

 

Hamilton By Design offer complete drafting service in terms of both Structural Drafting and Mechanical Drafting.

FIFO workers believe bosses don’t care

IFO workers say their employers do not care about their wellbeing and most do not feel valued for the work they do, a new survey has found.

Libby Brook, of Murdoch University's school of psychology, said a survey of 223 FIFO workers found most feel their needs not are not being met, while many believe their companies are not doing enough to support them, The West Australian reported.

 

The survey is part of ongoing research at Murdoch University into the possible health affects of working in the mining industry.

Murdoch University's Graeme Ditchburn said the survey results show that employee support was important when it comes to job satisfaction.

"From an organisational perspective, companies need to be looking at how they can empower managers and supervisors to support their employees more efficiently and effectively," he said.

Another survey of FIFO workers and their partners showed that less than 50 per cent were aware of the resources and support available to employees in the industry.

"A number of companies have made major efforts to improve their support for FIFOs but our study shows more needs to be done to inform workers of what is available," Brook said.

A survey by Australian Coal and Energy conducted earlier this year by researchers at Griffith University highlighted the mixed experiences of workers in the sector.

It found unpredictable shift work rosters in the industry are having physical and psychological effects on workers and their families.

According to the research 61 per cent of mine and energy workers had no say in how many hours they worked a week, 70 per cent had no say in their types of shifts, 74 per cent had no say in which shifts they worked on particular days, and 79 per cent had no say in start and finishing times.

Professor David Peetz from Griffith University’s Centre for Work, Organisation and Wellbeing said lack of control over work hours is being attributed to increasing levels of depression among shift workers and resulting in an increased use of a variety of prescription drugs.

“The respondents showed sleeping difficulties. And when you had lack of control combined with wanting to work fewer hours, it not only made mining and energy workers more likely to feel unsafe, it also had negative health effects, including on psychological health,” Peetz said

“The lack of say was having a flow-on effect.  Their partners often confirmed that their spouses were indeed too tired or emotionally drained to function properly and that it affected them.  Mining and energy workers and their partners were less satisfied with their free time or with how much they felt part of their community than were the broader Australian population,” Peetz said.

 

Australian Mining reported on mine site health earlier this year, stressing an alternative after it was found behind the tough exteriors many workers engaged in the mining industry in Australia experienced stress, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, feelings of anxiety, loneliness and depression.

Rio South of Embley Bauxite Mine

Rio Tinto Alcan announced it expects to spend $528 million over the next three years developing is new South of Embley bauxite mine, located near Weipa in Queensland’s Far North.

The project’s developers have commenced meetings to discuss the provision of goods and services for the mine’s construction which is scheduled to begin next year, pending environmental and company approvals, Cairns.com.au reported.

Project director Laurie Hicks said recruitment and materials supply was currently being considered in Cairns, however preferential treatment for local suppliers would not be given.

“Where several options exist, a bid process will be adopted which may include other local, regional, Australian or offshore suppliers," he said.

"While there will be no preferential treatment, options that promote local content, shorten supply chains, offer indigenous employment and deliver value to the project will be due consideration."

Employing about 950 people, the construction phase will include the building of two beneficiation plants which separate bauxite from waste materials, a diesel-fuelled power station, warehouse, offices, sewage treatment plant, two ferry and barge terminals, a roll-on/roll-off barge facility, temporary accommodation for 2000 people, a water supply dam and a new shiploading and tug-mooring port.

Construction is estimated to take between 2.5 and 3 years with 24 hour bauxite production predicted to begin in the first half of 2016.

Hicks said Far North Queensland "will be the focus of the project's labour recruiting activities”, and that the feasibility of Cairns as a fly-in/fly-out hub and project support centre will be assessed.

Advance Cairns CEO Stewart Christie said the group had been working with Cairns FIFO co-ordinator Jeremy Blockey to actively engage Rio Tinto Alcan to recruit personnel from the Far North of the state.

"We are very hopeful that both Rio Tinto Alcan and Bechtel will hire contractors, personnel and use suppliers from this region for the construction and ongoing operations of this project as the project evolves," he said.

The operation aims to extend current Weipa mining operations for another 40 years.
