Establishment of the discharge chute 10 through replacement, at Teck Coal's line creek mine site in Sparwood, Canada.
Scope of work
Building the chute & stair in the existing coal silo at the mine site with the help of chute support brace.
Challenges
The main challenge was the orientation of the truss. The two legs of the truss were in two different inclined planes making the task difficult.
Benefits of using Tekla
Tekla Structures enabled the project team to construct and connect the truss to the existing silo and chute very easily. Â Further, the inclined plate work was done using the IFC plate orientation feature of Tekla. The client was highly satisfied with the constructible model generated on the software.
