DSA composite mining system - Mining
Oil & Gas Whole system - Detailed Design Mining

The process associated with mining can use severe chemicals and rigorous procedures. With everyday wear and tear expected, it is essential to have working and reliable equipment. FRP and other composite materials are a good option due to its ability to withstand complicated processes. When designing, our engineers consider the environment, physical properties, performance, design flexibility, strength, corrosion and safety. Typical demands for our mining clients include lightweight materials, impact resistance, fire resistance and non-conductive materials.

Dennis Southam & Associates have a long history of involvement with a variety of different mine sites and companies, dating back to the inception of some of these sites. There is enormous scope for the application of FRP in these plants, and DSA has been involved in a variety of projects, consisting of the design, fabrication surveillance, and in-service inspection of FRP equipment, including:

  • A number of stacks, freestanding, supported, and guyed, with heights up to 120m
  • Tanks
  • Settlers
  • Clarifiers
  • Ducting
  • Process Piping
  • Concrete Linings
  • Scrubbers
  • Condition assessments for FRP equipment nearing the end of its original service life
  • FRP pipe stress analysis for process piping
  • Specification and design for a variety of solvent extraction equipment
  • Development of FRP specifications & inspection plans
  • Development of FRP asset management programs
