Case Study: Installing Lightweight Conveyor Guarding on a Ship-to-Shore Conveyor in London
Large conveyor systems operating in marine environments present a unique set of safety and logistical challenges. Recently, our team completed a major guarding installation at a UK marine terminal involving a ship-to-shore conveyor suspended above the River Thames. The project required careful planning, lightweight materials, and a fast installation schedule to ensure minimal disruption to…
Case Study: Conveyor Side Guarding Installation at a Gold Mine in Northern British Columbia
Mining operations rely heavily on large, high-capacity conveyors to move material efficiently across processing areas and stockpiles. Ensuring these conveyors are properly guarded is essential for protecting workers while maintaining reliable production. In this project, our team supported a gold mining operation in northern British Columbia, Canada, by designing and supplying a full conveyor side…
Common Conveyor Guarding Faults (and How to Fix Them)
