Project write-up

On 23 March 2011 at Cotonou, Benin Republic, a mobile McCloskey screening plant was taking shape on open ground — a conveyor and stacker mid assembly, sections raised and aligned as the crew worked across decks and lines to fit it all together.

Wheel loaders and a Volvo excavator worked the site around them while the assembly crew, joined by a visiting technical specialist, fitted, aligned and checked the plant through the day under Engineer Sunday Azubuike Otuya and Martins Otuya. This was still a build in progress, not yet a working plant — the machine coming together piece by piece.

Scope of work

  • Positioning and alignment of conveyor sections
  • Stacker assembly and plant fit out
  • Crew coordination across decks, lines and feed points
  • Loader and excavator support around the build
  • Technical supervision through the 23 March 2011 assembly

Outcomes & impact

  • Conveyor and stacker assembled and standing at Cotonou
  • Screening plant fitted out ready for production
  • Assembly know how demonstrated on Benin Republic soil
