Undertaking overseas mineral processing projects requires not only strong technical strength and rich project experience, but also the ability to adapt to local conditions and solve various problems brought by differences in regional environment, policies, culture and resources. The Tanzania 1,200t/d gold mineral processing plant project undertaken by Xinhai Mining is located in East Africa, with unique regional characteristics and challenges. Xinhai, relying on its mature overseas project management system and flexible adaptation ability, carried out scientific and refined project management, successfully overcoming various difficulties, ensuring the smooth progress of the project and the stable operation of the plant, and interpreting the concept of "adapting to local conditions" with practical actions.
Tanzania’s natural environment and infrastructure conditions are important factors affecting the project construction. The project site is located in a remote area with relatively backward transportation and power supply conditions, which brings great challenges to the transportation of construction materials and equipment, and the stable supply of power during the construction and operation period. In view of this, Xinhai’s project management team formulated a targeted logistics and power supply plan in the early stage of the project.
In terms of logistics transportation, Xinhai established a special logistics team, which fully investigated the local transportation routes and transportation capacity, and selected reliable local logistics partners. For large-scale and heavy-weight core equipment such as ball mills and crushers, Xinhai adopted the mode of sea transportation + land transportation, and made detailed transportation plans, including the handling of customs clearance procedures, the reinforcement of transportation vehicles and the selection of routes, to ensure that the equipment could be transported to the project site safely and on time. For construction materials, Xinhai gave priority to selecting local qualified suppliers to reduce transportation costs and shorten the transportation cycle, while ensuring the quality of materials.
In terms of power supply, considering the instability of local power grid, Xinhai configured a backup generator set for the project to ensure that the construction and operation work can be carried out normally in case of power outage. At the same time, Xinhai optimized the power consumption design of the plant, adopted energy-saving equipment and technologies, reduced the power consumption of the plant, and adapted to the local power supply capacity. In addition, Xinhai also carried out maintenance and maintenance training for the power supply system for local personnel to ensure the stable operation of the power supply system.
Tanzania’s policies and regulations on mining and environmental protection are relatively strict, which puts forward higher requirements for the project’s compliance. Xinhai’s project management team conducted in-depth research on Tanzania’s mining law, environmental protection law and other relevant policies and regulations in the early stage of the project, and integrated the requirements of policies and regulations into every link of project design, construction and operation.
In terms of environmental protection, Xinhai adopted a series of environmental protection measures to ensure that the project meets local environmental protection standards. In the crushing and grinding stages, professional dust removal equipment was installed to reduce dust emission; in the cyanidation leaching stage, a complete cyanide-containing wastewater treatment system was built to treat the wastewater to meet the discharge standards before discharge or recycling; in the tailings treatment stage, the thickening and dewatering process was adopted to reduce the volume of tailings, and the tailings yard was built in accordance with environmental protection requirements to prevent tailings from polluting the soil and water sources. Xinhai also regularly submitted environmental monitoring reports to the local environmental protection department to accept supervision.
In terms of personnel management, Xinhai attached great importance to the employment and training of local personnel, which not only reduced the project’s labor cost, but also promoted the local employment and talent training. Xinhai recruited a large number of local construction workers, operation and maintenance personnel and management personnel, and carried out strict pre-job training for them, including safety training, technical training and operation training. The training content was combined with the actual needs of the project, and the training method adopted on-site teaching and hands-on operation to ensure that the local personnel could quickly master the relevant skills and take up their posts.
At the same time, Xinhai respected the local culture and customs, formulated a humanized personnel management system, and established a good cooperative relationship with local personnel. The project management team communicated with local personnel in a timely manner, solved their work and life problems, and enhanced the cohesion and centripetal force of the team. This not only ensured the smooth progress of the project, but also won a good social reputation for Xinhai in Tanzania.
Xinhai’s project management in the Tanzania 1,200t/d gold project fully reflects the concept of "adapting to local conditions". By solving the problems of logistics, power supply, policy compliance and personnel management in a targeted manner, Xinhai ensured the smooth implementation and long-term stable operation of the project, demonstrating its strong overseas project management capability. This successful practice also provides valuable experience for Xinhai to undertake more overseas mineral processing projects in the future.
