Yatala Batch Plant Upgrade
13 April, 2023
We are extremely excited to announce that after 2 years in the making, the end-of-life replacement of our existing 20 year old Yatala plant is on track for completion this month. The new plant will enable the optimisation of concrete batching and delivery for existing pipe making machines. It will also improve safety, reliability, reduce factory downtime and ensure we supply our customers on time.
Here are some fun facts about our new Yatala batch plant:
- We’ve used over 650 tonnes of concrete for the foundations.
- It’s taken 1,350 civil labour hours, 1,980 mechanical labour hours, and 2,265 electrical labour hours so far to complete.
- We’ve used 14 x 40-foot shipping containers for all the equipment.
- The largest crane we’ve used is a 220T slew crane to lift the raw material bins.
- And most importantly we’ve had zero injuries recorded for the duration of the project.
