The demolition methodology employed by the site team involved the use of machine demolition methods, utilizing a 56t excavator equipped with a shear, which was employed in a methodical manner to systematically dismantle the conveyor structure along the conveyor line.

For the hopper, conveyor section, and TLO bin, an induced collapse technique was used, whereby a series of hit cuts were made to the structure to enable the excavator to pull it down and cause its failure, bringing it to the ground.

To remove the conveyor section next to the generator and substation, crane lifts were utilized. All generated debris resulting from the demolition works were carefully processed and sent to an authorized waste recycling facility for proper disposal..

The project was successfully completed ahead of schedule, with no incidents occurring during the works. Additionally, over 730 tons of scrap steel were processed and recycled, contributing to the project’s environmental sustainability goals.
