Steel Fabrication Perth for Mining and Resource Production Projects
Fabrication plays a pivotal role in the industrial backbone of Western Australia (WA), particularly within the mining and resource production sectors. From constructing robust infrastructures to creating custom machinery, steel fabrication services are integral to ensuring the efficiency and safety of operations across Perth and Port Hedland. This blog explores the importance of steel fabrication […]

FMG Conveyor Drive, Anderson Point (Pt Hedland)
Take Conveyor CV911 which feeds the ship loader at Anderson Point (Pt Hedland) from the stockpile yard. The original gearbox had failed several times and was considered unreliable. We assessed the application for handling 6 pole 630kW motor (one of four drives) used to obtain the required working capacity of 12,000 T.P.H. on a 24 […]
Tronox Chandala Processing Plant
Take the Aerator tank drives at Tronox Chandala Processing Plant. Mixers are used in continuous batched production at the plant to produce uniform suspension of solids by aeration. The original gearboxes were failing, repairs were very expensive and a new original gearbox even more expensive. We assessed the application, a 4pole 225 kW motor is […]
Alcoa Willowdale
Take Alcoa yard conveyor #395 at Alcoa’s Willowdale mine site. It feeds the stockpile yard from Willowdale mine site for reclaiming when Wagerup refinery requires feed stock. The original gearbox was failing, repairs were very expensive and a new original gearbox was no longer available. Inline, assessed the application for handling the 4pole 315 kW […]
Dual Wagon Car Dumper Drive Pinion Replacement
Inline Engineering were asked to assess the outgo drive gearset on our clients car dumper due to an inspection showing excessive backlash. Our technicians, on closer inspection, found the vertical mount, horizontal support bearing had sheared hold down bolts and this was causing 15mm vertical movement to both the drive pinion and the synchronisation shaft. […]
Shiploader high tension upper bend pulley change out
Inline Engineering were called to assess a pulley change out that was required in an area with limited overhead capacity for crane access, where the largest crane that could be padded out in the area was still not able to pick up the weight of the pulley. This is where we developed an alternate rigging […]
Lower bend pulley pedestal and pulley upgrade
Inline Engineering Services were engaged to upgrade the high tension lower bend pulley on our clients shiploader feed conveyor. During an engineering static and dynamic load calculation check on regularly failing pulleys, it was discovered that a percentage of the high tension bend and head pulleys were under designed for their application. So a systematic […]
Transfer Chute and Trolley Upgrade
In order to facilitate a higher production rate, a new larger chute was required on one of our clients transfer stations and with the extra weight a heavier duty maintenance trolley needed to be designed and installed. With our fabricators in Perth producing the trolley, handrails and lead out box and our Port Hedland workshop […]
