C048 Access Road and HV Haul Road Culverts
Pentacon acted as the Principal Contractor for a 4-culvert package at Pembroke Olive Downs Mine.
Three sets of Culverts are under the main Mine Access Road and One is in a diversion drain as a Heavy Vehicle Crossing including Mine Haul Trucks (Autonomous and Manned).
The CSP Culverts Installation project, executed by the Principal Contractor Pentacon, stands as a testament to the successful integration of innovative engineering solutions for efficient water management beneath critical mine transportation infrastructure. This project exemplifies the durability, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability of Corrugated Steel Pipe (CSP) culverts.
Efficient Water Flow Management: The primary objective was to enhance the flow of water beneath Access Roads and Haul Roads.
Durability and Resilience: The project aimed to implement a robust culvert system that could withstand environmental challenges, including seismic activity and heavy water flow, thereby ensuring the longevity of the infrastructure.
Cost-Effective Solutions: With a focus on cost efficiency, the project sought to utilise readily available and affordable materials, minimising overall project costs without compromising on quality or performance.
Timely and Efficient Installation: Pentacon aimed to complete the installation within the stipulated timeframe prior to the rain season, taking advantage of the lightweight nature of CSP culverts to streamline transportation and installation processes.
