Project Overview
Hard Bakka Rigging was contracted to complete the full assembly of a prefabricated mining sorting structure for a major gold mine near Townsville, Queensland. This structure was integral to the site’s ore processing workflow, with multiple interconnected components that required tight tolerances and accurate alignment to function effectively once operational.

Our expert rigging crew worked with high attention to detail, assembling a complex system of ore bins, conveyor systems, wash screens, and a platform structure with safety stairs and rails. The job demanded both innovative thinking and a methodical approach, as many components arrived partially assembled or needed to be manoeuvred in tight spaces using specialised lifting equipment.

Precision-Driven Execution
The assembly process called for a combination of heavy rigging expertise and structural alignment skills to ensure every piece fit perfectly, especially given the modular nature of the prefabricated design. Our team employed laser alignment tools, safe lifting techniques, and real-time supervision throughout the build, ensuring the entire system was secured without the need for post-install adjustments.

Strong Safety and Coordination Standards
With no recorded incidents, the project was completed under strict adherence to mining safety protocols. Hard Bakka Rigging coordinated daily with site engineers and operations managers to ensure all assembly stages were executed with minimal disruption to other site activities.

This project further demonstrates Hard Bakka Rigging’s capacity to deliver high-stakes, technically demanding rigging projects in remote mining environments. By combining innovative rigging methods with a commitment to safety and precision, we ensured a seamless assembly that positioned the mining operation for immediate commissioning success.
