Pasminco Century Zinc Mine
Project Description
Century Zinc is the recently constructed $850 million open cut zinc mine located near Lawn Hill National Park in the north west of Queensland. A 1km cross country PLC controlled pipeline automatically transfers fuel to the Go Line refuelling facility. The facility has three refuelling bays to service the 23 Komatsu dump trucks, a 110kL day tank and two bulk lubricant storage tanks and an oily water separator. Five bulk lubricant tanks (from 5 - 55kL in size) and a waste oil tank are installed in a bund adjacent to the workshops. Each grade of oil is reticulated to hose reels at each of the five service bays. A large separator pit and oily water separator was installed to handle drainage from the Truckwash and the workshops.
