maintaining integrity and safety.
Client: Zinc miner
Tough Problem: A building at a zinc mine housing three large vibrating screens was designed considering only static loads, i.e. weight. Due to high-dynamic loads caused by the heavy screening machines, there was a risk of fatigue failure of the building’s structural members which could lead to plant shutdowns.
Practical Solution: SVT was commissioned to analyse the vibration levels of the design and to mitigate the risk of fatigue failures.
