Project Details
Info.
- Client: SIERRA RUTILE
- LOCATION: SIERRA LEONE
Description.
For this SIERRA RUTILE project, we use a self-propelled dredger, transportable on road.
Point 1
Here, the sludge from the mining activity gradually settled to the bottom of the reservoir, reducing its depth and therefore its capacity. 1,000,000 cubic meters of this extra fine slurry were pumped into this engineered chamber over a three-month period.
This mud was later used in the manufacture of cement and clay bricks.
Point 2
For this SIERRA RUTILE project, we use a self-propelled dredger, transportable on road.
This image shows our IMS 7012 HP dredge in the vicinity of the floating station (Wash plane) for separating/extracting the rutile concentrate from the ore taken from the ground.
