Discovered by Gold Road Resources, the Gruyere Gold deposits in South Dorothy Hills, Western Australia, are among the largest undeveloped gold deposits in Australia. Gold Road is developing the resource in joint venture with Gold Fields Ltd., and awarded Amec Foster Wheeler the EPC contract with construction partner Civmec. The AUD 500 million project includes a large-scale open pit mine feeding a 7.5 million ton per year processing plant.
Amec Foster Wheeler deployed Bentley applications as part of an integrated engineering solution founded on centralized data with change control. The solution produces data-rich 3D design models for automatic drawing production, shop detailing, fabrication, construction simulation, progress tracking, and eventual asset management. This solution eliminates the need for 2D deliverables, reducing design costs by 25 percent and shop detailing costs by 20 percent.
Project Playbook: AECOsim Building Designer, Bentley LumenRT, MicroStation, MineCycle Material Handling, Bentley Navigator, OpenPlant, OpenRoads, OpenPlant PID, ProjectWise
