Projects
BBE Projects delivers complete turnkey designed, engineered and constructed projects in the fields of mine ventilation, refrigeration and cooling. BBE Projects has all the required engineering expertise under one roof and its team has an established track record of successful turnkey projects. Particular areas of expertise include refrigeration and bulk air cooling stations, main fan stations, energy saving schemes and thermal storage installations. BBE Projects focuses specifically on delivering complete and ready-to-operate systems to mining sector clients. The company is structured to deliver turnkey projects incorporating design, supply, construction, commissioning and process performance guarantee of complete surface and underground ventilation, refrigeration and cooling systems. All manner of projects are undertaken from greenfield sites to plant extensions and upgrades. As a totally independent company, BBE is able to offer the optimal solution using the best combination of selected equipment, tailor-made to each client’s specific requirements.
When BBE Projects takes overall responsibility for the entire process – from concept through detailed engineering and construction to commissioning – clients benefit from a focused project management team, improved project efficiency and streamlined project delivery. The client still enjoys overall authority but without the burden of the micro-management. The client’s standards and specifications still apply as do the appropriate QA/QC and SHE requirements. Designs, layouts and vendor selection are subject to client approval, but the co-ordination of equipment procurement, drawing office supervision, interface details, and contractual boundary issues are then our responsibility as the turn-key company. More importantly, the client’s exposure to design and construction risk moves to BBE Projects.
Beyond our extensive footprint in South Africa, including installations at 2 000 and 3 000 m below surface, we have successfully completed large refrigeration projects in Zambia, Tanzania and Ghana.
Fan Stations
BBE Projects have a proud track record of designing and constructing complete main surface fan stations at several mines comprising axial and centrifugal fans, complete with shaft-top bends, bi- and tri- furcations, self-closing doors, silencers, ducting, energy-efficient discharge evasés, fan and motor houses, civil construction, mechanical and electrical works, through to final commissioning and handover. Through the use of in-house CFD modelling BBE can produce energy efficient designs and being totally independent we can select equipment from the full spectrum of reputable suppliers.
Refrigeration & Air Coolers
Over the past few years BBE Projects have successfully completed several turnkey refrigeration and bulk air cooler installations for a number of clients across the African continent [see projects list]. The entire project requirements of system design, equipment procurement, contractor selection, transport logistics and all aspects of project management are provided by BBE Projects, tailor-made to each client’s specific requirements, in a single turnkey contract.
Thermal Storage
Ice thermal storage
BBE Projects have completed two significant ice thermal storage projects comprising submerged banks of steel serpentine coils where ice is formed on the external surface of the tubes during off-peak tariff periods and melted to produce cooling during peak tariff periods when refrigeration machines can be turned off. In the one project an existing refrigeration machine was converted to glycol chilling by replacing the compressor impeller with a specially-designed new impeller and constructing a new dam to house the ice coils. In the other project a new ammonia chiller was installed and the ammonia itself is circulated through ice coils installed in an existing open dam.
Bladder system
Where cold [and/or hot] water storage capacity is insufficient to withstand longterm stoppage of refrigeration machines during peak tariff periods, it is possible to extend the stoppage period by installing a bladder into a single dam which allows the simultaneous storage of warm and cold water, thereby maximising the ultilisation of existing storage facilities.
