Railway tunnel design at potash mine saves time and money
Canada's new Bethune mine--formerly known as the Legacy Project is the first greenfield potash mine built in Saskatchewan in nearly 40 years, and its owner K+S Potash boasts that it's the world's most modern potash operation of its type. Opened in May after a five-year construction phase, the mine shipped its first product in June and K+S intends to produce 600,000 metric tons (mt) to 700,000 mt of potash there this year. Annual production capacity of 2 million mt is expected to be reached soon thereafter. This will be followed by the gradual expansion of production capacity to 2.86 million mt per year (mt/y) in 2023. An innovative structural support design for that railway tunnel marks the first Cana- dian installation of AIL Mining's patented Super.Cor Round MSE-reinforced bevels. The AIL Group of Companies, headquartered in eastern Canada, has been providing innovative, cost-effective solutions in corrugated structural plate, MSE retaining walls, modular steel bridges, and corrugated pipe to mining and other industrial sectors since 1965.
