Crossview Enterprises’ management and staff take pride in finding innovative solutions to tricky problems in industrial maintenance and refurbishment. For the client this has several benefits, including cost savings, a higher level of safety during the works, minimising environmental impact and reduced downtime.
Some examples of our recent work include:
Removal and replacement of 270 metres of fire main under Berth 1 at Esperance Port – 2016.
The old pipe was winched out as one length, supported by a crane, cut into six metre pieces and loaded directly onto our crane truck. The new HDPE main was fully welded on the berth, towed over the side by boat and winched into place. The outcome – no physical handling of either the old or new pipe and the berth handed back to the client on time and without incident.
Major maintenance project on Berth 3 Ship Loader, Esperance Port – 2014 / 2015.
This project consisted of 3 shut downs of 16 days duration and included the stripping down and refurbishment of conveyor 35 on the iron ore ship loading circuit. The conveyor is 72 metres long and is situated over water, meaning all work had to be accessed from scaffolding. Included in the scope was strip out of cladding, significant structural repairs, sand blasting and painting and refitting. In total more than 3500 man hours were spent on the project without any injury of any sort. In all 3 shut downs, the site was handed back to the client on time and within budget.
Refurbishment of James Street Swimming Jetty, Esperance – 2016.
The popular local swimming jetty had been condemned due to suspected structural problems with the pre cast concrete deck and was due to be replaced with a new concrete structure. Crossview investigated the option of using a fibreglass structure in preference to concrete and was awarded the contract in late 2016. Work included demolishing the existing structure and replacing it with FRP frame, deck and handrails. Other work included fitting swim platforms, new aluminium ladders, solar lighting and a new concrete abutment slab. No access from land was available, meaning all work was conducted from our barge. The project was completed on time, on budget and injury free.
Major structural repairs to grain silos for Cooperative Bulk Handling, Esperance – October 2017. CBH had identified some potentially significant failures within the roof structures of 3 twenty five thousand ton grain cells in Esperance that needed to be repaired and modified before harvest. Crossview was awarded the work through a combination of the use of a clever methodology, short time frame and sensible pricing. With the help of local subcontractors, the project that involved welding in nearly 600 brackets, 13 metres off the ground was completed in time for the first load of canola to be delivered.
