PROJECT PROFILE
In 2018, KBL completed a trial study of the wood waste landfill located onsite. The purpose of the study was to determine the contents of the waste material within the landfill and to realize any potential recovery methods. A series of test pits were advanced. A portion of the landfill was screened using a portable screening unit. An excavator with a magnet attachment was used to separate the steel from the other waste streams. The results of the study showed that the contents of the waste was predominately soil, steel and wood.
A permanent magnetic screener was procured in 2021 to separate the material in the wood waste landfill and to recover clean steel for future use. The screener is equipped with a hopper, conveyor systems, screens and a series of magnets
SCOPE OF WORK
The services provided support the client’s scrap cleaning operations including: the excavation of material from wood waste landfill; pre-sorting the excavated material prior to transport; transporting the material to the plant stockpile location; loading and de-stocking the scrap cleaning plant; and transporting the processed material to the appropriate stockpile location.
PROJECT CHALLENGES
KBL worked closely with the client during the initiation of theproject to optimize operations. KBL coordinates with the client’senvironmental group to fulfill all environmental regulatory requirements
PROJECT SUCCESS
KBL has been supporting the scrap cleaning project since the end of 2021. Roughly 125,000 m3 of raw material has been sorted and processed since project inception. It is estimated that 50,000 tonnes of scrap steel have been recovered for use. In addition to recovering scrap steel, KBL has assisted the client in reducing their environmental liability.
