The project required Linear Engineering to detail design the conveyors and transfers within the constraints of a brownfield site. The design included:
The conveyors and transfers had to be designed within tight timeframes to meet the project schedule. The alumina hydrate chute designs were optimised using Discrete Element Analysis (DEM) to simulate transfers and bin/feeder behaviour.
The design addressed the challenges of a brownfield site including
Linear supported the Rio Tinto project and team by providing a design that integrated with the brownfield site. The support continued with the Linear team assisting with:
