Duratec was engaged by KCGM to conduct 160m2 of concrete repairs to CV03 conveyor tunnels at their Fimiston gold operations.
Details
The project included the removal of delaminated and spalled concrete using hydro-demolition and jackhammers. After the steel reinforcement was inspected and repaired or replaced in consultation with the client, it was then abrasive blasted and coated with a zinc primer to further inhibit corrosion.
Sacrificial anodes were installed to extend the life of the reinforcement. The concrete was reinstated by dry-spray methods.
