Peak Gold Mine Main Cage

FEA

Hard Rock Mining

Project Overview

Linear Engineering was engaged by Peak Gold Mines to support replacing the Main Cage at Peak Gold Mine.

Overview

Project Overview

The project required Linear Engineering to pivot from operating as design verifier to designer, ensuring the client’s needs were met within a tight timeframe.

  • Main Cage design and verification
  • Preparation of design documentation to meet replacement cage installation date at Peak Gold Mine
The Challenge

The Challenge

Linear Engineering initially verified the replacement cage design to be compliant with Australian Standards via Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Once engaged as designers to support PGM in registering and installing the cage, Linear quickly appreciated PGM’s additional requirements and tailored additional FEA and documentation to suit.

  • Structural verification of cage with FEA
  • Dynamically providing additional FEA and documentation to support cage installation
The Solution

The Solution

Linear Engineering expedited additional FEA and documentation works to support installing the cage during the available shut window. Following the successful cage installation, Linear continued to assist PGM as required to complete the project.

  • Support throughout every stage of the project
  • Ability to quickly meet client’s needs as required
The Results

Our Results

Advanced analysis simply delivered

Expertise in advanced Finite Element Analysis and underground mining conveyances allowed Linear to quickly understand and meet the client’s need, culminating in a successful cage replacement.
