MINING SITE CONVEYOR INSPECTION
With over 35 years experience, the H & B Mining’s in-house design team have a wealth of knowledge in projects that involve upgrading existing plant work. Site inspection, measuring and recording existing data for a new design is an area that H & B specialise in. Whilst obtaining and recording the as-built condition of the existing plant, H & B’s specialists discuss the proposed new design with the on site maintenance staff to ensure all the specific needs of a project are met as well as provide innovative solutions to problematic transfer areas requiring heavy maintenance.
From these discussions and recorded data the in-house design team prepare the proposed drawings for the client to review.
