With a solid practical background in processing minerals including gold, copper, nickel, manganese, lead/zinc, mineral sands, iron ore and uranium, the Orway team is available to assist in commissioning new and upgraded circuits.
Orway’s commissioning service includes the management of the tail-end construction of a new plant, putting in place the sequence of actions required to systematically start the processing plant once construction is complete. Areas and systems that are required first are prioritised with "work-to-go" and punch lists generated.
We can also support and train the client's team, utilising our vast experience to ensure a smooth operational transition once construction is complete.
Orway Consultants take a methodical and systematic approach to check and ensure systems and areas are ready to start, including:
Installation completion checks
Energisation safety and boundary isolation management
Piping system flushing
Testing & energisation
Readiness checking
Instrumentation testing & preliminary loop tuning
Hydrotesting, QAQC & transfer of Care, Custody and Control documentation
Overseeing of first ore and initial circuit stabilisation, spillage control and modifications
All tasks are undertaken to ensure ramp up and optimisation occur in the shortest possible time.
Orway's commissioning experience covers all climates from hot deserts, wet tropics, and temperate zones to sub-zero regions across six continents.
As an illustration of our experience and expertise in this critical area of client service, Orway's gold plant commissioning alone includes:
