The Need
Golder Paste Technology had the mandate for the procurement of
a paste backfill plant at the Diavik Diamond Mines in Canada's Northwest Territories. The equipment
had to operate continuously, 24 hours/day. All equipment had to be manufactured on a fast track
schedule and delivered on winter roads only.
BMH Solution
BMH assisted Golder Paste Technology in performing the
detailed engineering for the conveyors and galleries that were needed to operate in extreme cold
weather.
