Westlakes worked with West Cumbria Mining to assist with the production of pre-feasibility studies into two proposed sites.  After identification of the preferred site, the site layout was developed, in consultation with the client’s team of environmental consultants, mining engineers and planning consultants.

The final design that was included in WCM’s planning proposal also included the proposed route for an underground conveyor from the main mine site to a proposed rail loading facility, also developed as part of the project.

    [post_content] => Westlakes were appointed as Civil Engineering Design Support for the Iggesund Paperboard £108M 50MW Biomass Plant.

Structures were designed to include concrete basements up to 6m deep, which were built in waterlogged ground, and a complex triangular A-frame store 80m long and 30m high.

The civil layouts were designed around the process layouts and has involved the specialist design of a number of machine foundation bases, our scope was then extended to include the design of further structures as well as highways and drainage, weighbridges and entrance facilities, substations, cable bridges and control facilities.
