Alcoa Pinjarra
Pressure Dynamics designed and manufactured lubrication skids for Metso Minerals to suit the new Mill which was installed at Alcoa Pinjarra’s refinery. Pressure Dynamics were then asked by Alcoa if they could install the lubrication skids on site and manufacture all the pipe work as required. We initially expected to be onsite for approximately eight weeks with three technicians, two pipe fitters and one supervisor. After three weeks into the installation, the work began to expand at a rapid rate and we soon required two separate crews to take on the long list of additional projects that Pressure Dynamics were asked to complete. The projects included:
The initial eight weeks turned into eleven months of work with a crew of up to fourteen technicians. Pressure Dynamics worked closely with not only Metso and Alcoa, but with other construction companies such as Thiess and United Group Resources. Due to our strong capabilities the work was a great success and good working relationships were developed.
When asked what the most difficult part of this project was to coordinate, our Project Manager, Aaron Masterman responded “there were no difficulties. I found it personally satisfying to meet and develop sound working relationships with a diverse range of companies and people.”
