DRE18 Shutdown 2021 at BMA Caval Ridge Mine

Richglen demonstrated its expertise with the DRE18 Shutdown 2021 at BMA Caval Ridge Mine. The project involved a complex tub removal for rack and rail repairs on the Dragline Marion 8050, marking Richglen’s first operation of this kind.

Skilled Team

A skilled team of 100 professionals, including boilermakers, fitters, riggers, trades assistants, and electricians, was deployed. The team worked cohesively to carry out critical drag and swing gearbox overhauls, ensuring the project’s success.

Safety and Efficiency

Safety and efficiency were top priorities. The project was completed on time and under budget, with no recordable incidents, reflecting Richglen’s rigorous safety protocols and commitment to a safe working environment.

Saraji Rear Leg Replacement Project

Richglen showcased its expertise at BMA Saraji Mine with the complex DRE18 Rear Leg Replacement on a Marion 8050 Dragline. This project involved replacing the rear tri-structure legs, a task that required precise execution.

Skilled Workforce

The project engaged 76 skilled professionals, including boilermakers, fitters, riggers, trades assistants, scaffolders, machinists, and crane operators. The team successfully managed the unique challenges of lowering the boom to remove and replace the rear legs, a process rarely performed with the tri-structure still raised.

Safety and Precision

Richglen’s meticulous crane plan and commitment to safety were crucial. The project was completed without any incidents, demonstrating the company’s dedication to maintaining an impeccable safety record.

Trailblazing Success

The Saraji DRE18 Rear Leg Replacement was more than a job well done; it was a significant engineering achievement that pushed the limits of dragline maintenance and reinforced Richglen’s leadership in mining infrastructure repair.
