Detailed structural design for a Victorian mineral sands refinery — wet concentrator plant, steelwork and IFC documentation.

Project Context

Campaspe Mineral Sands required detailed structural engineering for a greenfield refinery, including wet concentrator plant (WCP) structures where vibration, access and corrosion demand careful detailing.

Engineering Scope

  • Detailed structural steel design — modules, pipe racks and equipment platforms
  • Concrete foundations and equipment bases to vendor and project loads
  • Spiral concentrator and vibrating equipment support framing
  • Stairs, handrails and access systems to AS 1657 and project HSE requirements
  • IFC/issue-for-construction documentation and design certificates
  • BIM/coordination workshops with mechanical and piping teams

How We Delivered

Our engineers maintained tight interface control with vendors and EPCM, closing RFIs promptly to protect the construction critical path. Detailing favoured repeatable connections and clear inspection regimes for site QA.

Outcomes

  • IFC-ready structural packages for contractor procurement
  • Constructable WCP and process area steelwork
  • Continuity from preliminary layouts to detailed delivery
