Project Delivery – Design/build Project
Description - Hermanson Egge Engineering was retained by Halliburton Energy Services to design a new jig plant for their barite mine in Dunphy, Nevada. We initially surveyed the site in and used our field laser technology to model the jig plant. Once we had a 3d model of it, we imported the model into our structural analysis software and performed the analysis and design of the structure from there.
We had two main systems in this jig plant. One was the structural system to hold the jig and it's associated parts and the other was the Pre Engineered metal building which provides a shelter for the jig plant. Since the site is located on a seismically active area we had to perform seismic analysis on this structure.
This is just one example of Hermanson Egge Engineering's service to mining.
