SA | Mauritania | 2010–2015 38,000 tpd process plant 10 million hours with 0 LTIs US$400 million in cost savings Challenges Expand the existing Tasiast gold mine to 38,000 tonnes per day (tpd) by constructing a new process facility, workforce accommodations, water pipeline, power station, water treatment, and distribution system. With heat, winds, and dust storms, delivering materials and equipment to the site needed special logistics. Examine a range of different processing technologies and plant capacities, considering trade-offs. Solutions Phase 1 included designing and constructing infrastructure to support existing operations and a potential expansion. Studies determined that a single new 38,000 tpd process plant would be optimal economically. We provided EPCM for accommodations for a 3,500-person workforce, a 60 km water-supply pipeline, water treatment facilities, power plant, and truck shop.
