Retrofitting Legacy Mining Equipment: Engineering for Longevity

Written By David Finlay

Mines often operate assets decades beyond their design life. Retrofitting extends life safely and cost-effectively.
Retrofit Techniques
- Reinforcing welds and joints.
- Adding stiffeners and bracing.
- Applying advanced coatings.
- Upgrading to modern alloys.
Benefits
- Lower cost than replacement.
- Reduced downtime.
- Sustainability by reducing waste.
Retrofitting is practical, sustainable engineering. Trang Imagineering helps mines maximise asset value while ensuring safety.
