From August 2014 to June 2019 Bantrel performed Construction Management services on the shaft relining project. This project involved the relining of two existing 16-foot diameter, (1900 feet) 590-metre-deep concrete lined shafts. The new shaft linings were comprised of two zones. A steel reinforced liner was installed in the upper water bearing zone. The lower portion consists of a foam backed concrete liner.
The project scope also included installing of a new permanent headframe for the #1 Shaft and #2 Shaft. An upgrade to the hoisting system required the removal of the hoist on the #3 Shaft and replacing it with a new automated hoist. The controls for the #1 and #3 Hoists were upgraded as part of the upgrades.
Due to air quality issues the mine ventilation system was reconfigured to make the #2 Shaft the primary ventilation shaft. To accomplish this, extensive rework was completed including the re-development of existing mine workings, installation of fans, bulkheads, and vent doors. Bantrel was responsible for managing and coordinating the mine operations, mining contractors, and the hoist installation contractors.
