People are at the Heart of Improving Safe Delivery of Major Maintenance in Shutdowns

At the heart of the Primary Crusher Maintenance Optimization project are the people who maintain our assets and their safety. What started as a maintenance frames project, naturally became a holistic approach to safe performance of crusher maintenance in shutdowns.  

Delivering a suite of maintenance aids, innovative solutions, and structured rebuild methodologies, this Asset Management Operational Readiness project at Rio Tinto’s Guidai-Darri Iron Ore Mine embodies Rio Tinto’s core values of Care, Courage, and Curiosity. Driving innovation and continuous improvement in frontline shutdown management resonates with our company's purpose: Finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs.

  • Aids to reduce safety risks and improve work efficiency.
  • Dedicated maintenance area and maintenance strategy using SPMT's to deliver ratable components.
  • Detailed contingency plans that were utilized when the dedicated fixed tower crane failed.
  • Involvement of frontline management of all work to enable continuity between engineering, operations, and maintenance teams.
  • Replicating learnings from across industry during operational readiness is critical for setting teams up for success.
  • Embracing asset ownership and assigning dedicated resources to critical shutdown tasks reduces overall asset risk and increases frontline safety.
