URETEK RELEVELLING  & GROUND SUPPORT SOLVES MANY PROBLEMS AT MINE SITES.

With minimal down-time, we raise, relevel and resupport moving & sunken stacker-reclaimer rails, conveyor belt towers, machinery, driveways, floors and whole buildings!

  • Safety issues are addressed fast, effectively and economically!
  • Costly closures are eliminated; down-time is reduced to a minimum.
  • Trip hazards and slab movement are eliminated.
  • Trucks and forklifts will ride smoothly again.
  • Unique, fast structural resin injection!
  • Machinery base slabs are relevelled and given renewed support.
  • Uretek work is fast! Only a fraction of the replacement time!
  • We can treat one area at a time and work at night, if required.

Mines, particularly in outback Australia, present challenges on an impressive scale.   Logistics can demand days of driving and freighting of materials. Needs can be unusual, loads colossal, deadlines onerous, responsibilities huge! Uretek meets these challenges on a regular basis.

In The Pilbara, WA, we have corrected multiple deformations in rails carrying ‘monster' stacker-reclaimers.  In The Hunter, we have also relevelled deformed stacker-reclaimer rails that prevented loading vast quantities of stockpiled coal.

In another remote Western Australian mine, we have strengthened the ground and lifted 1500 mm thick concrete indexer rail slabs servicing 2 kilometre long iron ore trains carrying over 200 tonnes per wagon.

We have strengthened escape shafts, relevelled massive steel tower structures, re-plumbed silos and treated deteriorating workshop floors that service 100 tonne dump trucks.

Uretek offers many unique solutions to the mining industry: relevelling stacker-reclaimer rails, machinery, conveyor belt structures etc.
