Pilot Plant Design
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.
EPCM of Ore Sorting Plant
The acid-generating stockpiles and the distance between the mine and the mill was not only expensive, but also very difficult to manage at the Bonanza Ledge Gold Mine. An opportunity was identified to sort the sulfides carrying gold, and only ship the high-quality material at a very low cost. Sacré-Davey Engineering was responsible for the detailed engineering, procurement support, and construction management of an XRT sorter at the Bonanza Ledge Gold mine.

Green Hydrogen Facility
Sector
Energy
In the development of an 87-megawatt electrolyzer plant generating 11,100 tons per year of green hydrogen and oxygen for supply to Énerkem's biofuel production facility, Accelera by Cummins was chosen as the PEM electrolyzer. Sacré-Davey, leveraging its extensive history in the hydrogen market, was engaged to deliver Owner’s Engineering Services. This encompassed electrolyzer selection, integration, and guidance on balance of plant design for the facility. Following the Phase 1 contract completion, a performance appraisal rated Sacré-Davey's services as "Exceptional," achieving a commendable 95% rating.
