The Western Turner Brockman Project consists of the Brockman 4 and Western Turner Syncline mines.

The first phase included the Brockman 4 mine expanded from an annual capacity of 22 million tons (Mt/a) to 40 Mt/a. The Western Turner Syncline mine expanded from 6 Mt/a capacity to 15 Mt/a.

The second phase of The Brockman 4 project included an expansion of the village, additional mine fleet and construction of a primary crusher and a 4km overland conveyor to increase the Brockman 4 operation from its scheduled 22 Mt/a to 40 Mt/a capacity in the first half of 2013.

The Western Turner Syncline expansion incorporated the construction of a primary crusher and a 20km overland conveyor to deliver ore to the Tom Price primary stockpiles. Existing Tom Price infrastructure was utilized, including the high grade and low grade processing plants, stockyards, train load-out and on-site facilities.

Geospatial mapping of the mine, civil utilities, mechanical and structural disciplines were utilized for conducting multi-disciplinary interface checks, as well as assist in the project design and ensure accuracy of the fabrication drawings.

The major project goal was to ensure the client’s schedule milestones were achieved with the highest level of accuracy for deliverables including:

• Mine Information Modeling (MIM) Systems
• Fully intelligent 3D review models including vendor items
• Integrated and collaborated systems between engineering and detailed design
• 2D Shop detailing drawings (total of 42,000 drawings and fittings, with additional 4 corresponding MIM reports per drawing)
• Electronic fabrication data
• Detailed material take off’s
