  • Region
    North Queensland
  • Location
    Mt Isa Mines
  • Client
    Glencore
  • Duration / Date
    2021
  • Categories
  • Project #
    TEGCE21062

Project Scope

TEG Consulting Engineers was engaged by Glencore MIM to provide a design analysis of a lead pot hook and hanger frame to confirm the adequacy of these components for safe operation in the lead smelter.

The project involved modelling the components in 3D, so that a Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) review could be undertaken to model stresses, strains and deflections under various load scenarios.

This role required the following:

  • Preparing a 3D model of both the hook and hanger components.
  • Analysing the components as a meshed part with various load scenarios imposed to measure resistant stresses, strains and deflections.
  • Preparing an engineering report and certification of the modelled physical behaviour to provide a rated load for the various load scenarios.

Our Involvement

TEG Consulting Engineers undertook ACC modelling and analysis.

Project Outcomes

The successful modelling and analysis of the components was reported.
