The mine is situated 2hours from Townsville in north Queensland which is where I live...the mine is called ravenswood gold mine and the job we are doing there will be a large concrete slab for two massive gas tanks to be mounted on,I think the dimensions are roughly 25metres long by 8metres wide with a ramped apron which will come off one side a further 3 metres.
What this means for us is 3 weeks work where we will take a hydroexcavation truck,2 dump trucks,Bob cat and a 20 tonne excavator out to the mine as well as float our shipping container full of tools/equipment to the site.we will do the job from scratch,start finding all the existing underground services with the vac truck then once that is sorted we will dig up the pad to prepare for the slab,it will be 5 guys....doing start to finish digging pad,formwork and steel fixing,laying concrete and finishing it followed by craining and mounting gas tanks ready for operation which will be interesting....I'll be sure to get some pictures of the job and post then in coming weeks.
