Engineering case study
Repeat scraper winch failures were stopping production and exposing crews to rope and entanglement risk. We ran an independent investigation and closed the instruction out.
Recurring scraper winch failures caused unplanned production stoppages and a regulator instruction. Rope condition management was inconsistent and operator practice varied between shifts.
Site inspection, component recovery, maintenance record review and structured operator interviews.
Fishbone diagnostics separated design, maintenance, competency and supervision contributors.
Rope discard criteria, inspection standards and guarding upgrades specified and installed.
Evidence pack and corrective action plan presented to the DMPR for upliftment.
ManganeseSignalling failures on a hoisting installation were halting vertical transport. We rebuilt the signalling protocol and the compliance evidence behind it.
Signalling compliance
Assessment to commissioning
Hoisting availability restored
CoalA regulator flagged conveyor fire hazards across a coal handling plant. We built the risk matrix, the preventive regime and the standards uplift that closed it.
Finding to close-out
Transfer points remediated
Belt life and throughput
Whether it's a regulator instruction, a failing asset or a capital project, we start with an honest engineering assessment.
