Primero – KCGM Growth Project
Surveying for Primero Group during the expansion of the Fimiston Processing Plant at KCGM.
Project Overview
Survey expertise in practice.
Culhig Surveying was engaged by Primero Group to provide comprehensive surveying services for the KCGM Growth Project, a major expansion of the Fimiston Processing Plant at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM). Our involvement commenced during the early civil and earthworks stages and has continued through civil concrete construction and SMP installation.
DELIVERY
Our role on the project.
- Establishment and maintenance of control network.
- Verification of design information and identification of drawing discrepancies, clashes, and constructability issues prior to construction.
- Preparation and management of digital set-out files for earthworks, civil, structural, mechanical and piping works.
- Detailed earthworks set out and verification.
- Regular UAV surveys to monitor project progress.
- Structural concrete set out.
- Mechanical plant set out and dimension control.
- Piping set out and alignment surveys.
- Construction verification and as-built documentation.
OUTCOME
Delivery that makes a difference.
- Supported the construction and verification of civil and structural concrete, including critical foundations and structures for the Primary Crusher, Coarse Ore Stockpile (COS), SAG Mill, Ball Mill, and Thickener facilities.
- Delivered high-precision dimensional control surveys for the installation of the SAG Mill and Ball Mill, achieving stringent alignment and positional tolerances required for successful commissioning.
- Undertook extensive 3D laser scanning of both existing operational plant infrastructure and newly installed assets, supporting design validation, construction verification, and as-built documentation.
- Provided ongoing as-constructed surveys and quality assurance reporting to verify compliance with project specifications and engineering tolerances.
