Trusted Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineers in Dumfries

This week, a brief but opportune weather window allowed us to lift the newly fabricated sheave wheel into place on the New Cooks Kitchen Headframe. nWhen conditions allow, we will lift and secure the 8 tonne gallows section on top of this, restoring the iconic headframe to its usual layout. nnThis sheave wheel enables a specially designed cage to be lowered into the shaft using the recently installed South Winder. Our underground team will then be able to access and refurbish the shaft as part of the ongoing dewatering program.nnAnother step forward on the road to bringing South Crofty back into production!nnA huge thank you to Macsalvors - Plant Hire Ltd for their services in ensuring it was a successful and safe operation, SJG South West Ltd, ZITRÓN for fabricating the sheave wheel, and also to 3DMSI for their accurate surveying.nn#cornwall #mining #engineering...
