SDE performed a study to remove the existing 350 HP pebble crushing units and replace with larger 900 HP units. In addition, a dust collection system would be installed.

SDE worked to produce a comprehensive scoping study for the optimization and development of a new mine. SDE’s responsibilities included all onsite facilities including the mill building (from the Crusher to the Concentrate Load-out), offices, maintenance shops, stores, camp, water & wastewater treatment, and transportation of tailings.

This project was for a large open pit Zn mine located in an extremely cold weather environment in the USA. Sacré-Davey Engineering was tasked with identifying suitable sorting techniques, carrying out the option evaluation and performing detailed engineering of the sorting plant.

This project included the conversion of the existing dough mixers refrigeration system from a “Direct expansion” system to a “Glycol” system, and a complete overhaul of the 2500 Lb. bread dough mixers. The Project achieved all defined objectives and resolved the environmental issues associated with the old system.

This project involved decommissioning of the manufacturing plant and distribution center, and building repairs and modifications. The project achieved all defined objectives, and was completed under budget.

This project involved integrating new feed conveyors and a new palletizer into an existing bottling line. This project involved the design of new motor control panels, PLC IO panels, PLC IO panels, generation of electrical layouts, cable tray and grounding plans, cable lists, and a bill of materials for installation. Construction Management and Commissioning service were also provided by SDE.

Okanagan Spring Brewery undertook replacement of older fire tubed boilers with state of the art steam generators. The new system allowed for increased steam capacity and efficiencies whilst maintaining boiler branch staffing requirements. Sacré-Davey Engineering was retained for providing vendor and general contractor Request for Proposal documents, assessment of bids, and Construction Management.

Our pulp and paper client identified an opportunity to optimize steam resources and increase revenue by installing a 65 MW condensing steam turbine/generator set. Mill-wide steam consumption was reviewed and maximum efficiency gained by converting several turbine drives to electric; optimizing steam generating boilers; and installing the turbine generator & associated equipment.

Port Townsend Paper had an in-situ separate train demineralizer water system feeding three separate boilers. Sacre-Davey’s primary scope of work was integration of these units within the mill and detailed design for ancillary system requirements.

SDE completed an integrity assessment on steam, condensate, chloride, brine, and slurry piping systems within the process plant.

SDE provided design review, stress analysis and design input for a 1000 PSIG, 20” diameter pipeline servicing the new Kwoen Gas Plant in Northern BC.

Sacre-Davey Engineering conducted NDT, visual inspections, a pump performance assessment and an investigation of the equipment’s historical and operational information.

SDE was contracted to prepare a study and capital cost estimate for a water treatment system that would capture and recover the boiler water treatment system and blow down waste as boiler feed water to eliminate liquid discharge.

For this rail unloading, storage and ship loading project, Sacré-Davey designed and commissioned an expansion for top unloading for glycol (MEG) from railcars which is then pumped to storage.

Sacré-Davey provided full detailed engineering for a truck and a rail loading facility to receive, stockpile and ship zinc concentrate at Kinder Morgan’s terminal in North Vancouver.

Our client requested Sacré-Davey to complete a high-level capital cost estimate to upgrade their existing facility to allow for receiving, storage, and shipping of potash based on a previous conceptual design.

Initial feasibility study and AACE Class 2 cost estimate for a new integrated railcar unloading, piping, storage system and marine loading for transfer of product from railcar to cargo vessel, as well as modification to rail car area for top unloading of glycol.

For this all weather scoping study, Sacré-Davey designed a system to allow loading of product during all weather conditions at the port.

For this Ship Unloader upgrade project, Sacré-Davey had to replace the obsolete electrical drive control system of the Berth #1 Ship Unloader. This system upgrade also included the installation of a receiving hopper/spill plate, the addition of efficient dust mitigation measures for the hopper, and the replacement of other worn-out components of the ship unloader as required.

This faciililty improvement project required the installation of dry bulk ship unloading machinery, a network of inbound conveyors, a storage shed, and a network of outbound conveyors including a surge bin and a rail car load out system.
