Work done on the Coarse Plant (C20500) and Jigging Plant (C70000). The existing plants are being modified substantially due to process changes. Most of the existing equipment are being demolished, with new equipment introduced and modified. "Point Cloud" scans and "True View" systems used extensively. 3D Modelling and drawing work included. All CAD files and filing structure as well as Vendor information for the above areas, was my responsibility
