Pushing ahead As an example what CIF Construction is capable of, Geoff cites the company’s recent work at the Gibraltar Mine for Taseko Mines, a long-time client. There, CIF was part of a massive expansion, and their scope of work encompassed: installation of structural concrete foundations and grout for a variety of structures, including a new in-pit crusher and primary crusher; delivery of a mobile batch plant complete with pump and mixer trucks; and demolition of the existing primary crusher foundation, along with installation of a new crusher dump pocket to facilitate two mine trucks simultaneously. That project took place over the course of approximately 19 months and involved a volume of 37,000 square metres of concrete. At the start, he says their team worked “day and night” for three months to complete construction of the input crusher foundations. JUNE 2023
