WestLand evaluated and designed solutions for several critical areas of the Moly Concentrator for bottlenecks and limitations. The evaluation included a hydraulic study where WestLand developed system models and performed slurry flow calculations. Once bottlenecks were identified, WestLand developed design solutions and detailed design plans for construction of the system upgrades. The evaluation and design included a wide variety of slurry pump stations, pump boxes, distribution boxes, pipes, and other equipment.
