Hydro One Geraldton Operating Centre Steel Erection
Planned activities for the week of December 18th include final earthworks within the Tailings Management Facility (TMF), commissioning work for various buildings within the Plant Site area and drilling, blasting and hauling of rock from the open pit.
What's coming next:
Greenstone Mine wishes to advise the public that open pit activities are underway. Greenstone Mine will be conducting scheduled blasts within the Open Pit. A link to the Blasting Notices is located on the company website homepage.
The Process Plant area, which consists of the crushing, grinding and processing circuits, is in the final stage of construction with a variety of pre- and wet commissioning activities underway. Building erection is ongoing at the site of the new HONI Geraldton Operating Centre. The Tailings Management Facility (TMF) is being readied for commissioning.
Mine mobile equipment components continue to arrive and be assembled.
The public are reminded to continue to obey all posted signs across the Project area for everyone’s health and safety. Construction in and around Greenstone Mine involves the use of heavy equipment such as haul trucks, shovels, telehandlers, cranes, drills, excavators, skidders, bulldozers and loaders. The extensive project work over the last few years has significantly changed the landscape resulting in many new hazards that may be difficult to see with the new snow cover. The old portion of the highway, including access to it through the MacLeod townsite, is now closed to the public. For health and safety reasons, do not enter any unauthorized or active work areas within the Project footprint unless authorized to do so.
