Horokiwi Quarries Ltd operates a major aggregate supply operation servicing the Wellington region, with a broad product range that supports both commercial construction and residential projects. As part of ongoing site improvements, Horokiwi Quarries required their existing Barmac B9600 VSI crusher to be relocated and integrated into a revised plant layout.
The key challenge was ensuring that the relocation could be executed with minimal interruption to production. To achieve this, MIMICO Engineering deployed full 3D scanning technology to accurately capture the existing plant layout. Using detailed point cloud data, MIMICO was able to model the new plant design with precise interface connections to the existing equipment.
This level of detailed design work eliminated potential installation conflicts and allowed the relocation project to be completed ahead of schedule.
Project Highlights:
3D scanning of existing plant for accurate design integration
Full 3D modelling of all new and existing interface components
Installation of Metso CVB1845-3 Compact Series Screen
MIMICO Engineering-designed screen support structure
Fully lined under-screen and front rolling discharge chutes
New support structure for the existing Barmac B9600 VSI crusher
Existing screen feed conveyor extension
Three new conveyors supplied, fully guarded to AS/NZS 4024 standards
All new steelwork supplied with galvanised finish for durability
Through advanced scanning, detailed design, and efficient project delivery, MIMICO Engineering successfully relocated and upgraded Horokiwi Quarries’ VSI crushing circuit while minimising operational disruption.
