Trigon Pacific Terminals Ltd. (formerly, Ridley Terminals Inc. (RTI)) operates a bulk materials handling terminal, located at Prince Rupert’s Ridley Island, for the export of metallurgical coal, thermal coal, petroleum coke. CWA was retained by RTI to conduct a fatigue analysis and service life prediction of their major materials handling equipment, including two shiploaders and three stacker-reclaimers. The objective of the study was to provide RTI with valuable information to facilitate their decision-making on asset management, including capital upgrades and equipment replacement considerations for the terminal’s long-term planning.
The results of this innovative study provided actionable information that will facilitate asset management decisions, including planned maintenance, capital upgrades, and equipment replacement considerations.
