Barge success in Brasil
In April, a US$3 million award for a barge contract for a gold mining customer consolidated Weir Minerals Brasil’s (WMB) position as the leading developer and supplier of barge sets in the Brasilian market. WMB has grown its position since 2006
High value contracts for Far East plants
when it supplied its fi rst water intake system with Floway Pumps. In the past seven years, more than 10 barge projects have been developed and sold including pumps, hoses, crane, cable, valves and engineering services.
Weir’s Isolation Valves business in the USA has recently received signifi cant orders
from two major Japanese turbine suppliers. The Ipswich, MA facility will manufacture two sets of the Atwood & Morrill FREE FLOW REVERSE CURRENT VALVE for the Korea South-East Power Co. YeongHeung Units 5 & 6. Each unit consists of fourteen steam extraction valves and two Class 1500 cold reheat check valves. The US sales team did an exceptional job
coordinating the strict Japanese technical specifi cations, along with the special requirements of the South Korean end use customer. Weir was also awarded three sets of the
Korean power plant
Atwood & Morrill FREE FLOW REVERSE CURRENT VALVE for the Taipower Lin Kuo Units 1, 2 & 3 to be constructed in Taiwan. Each unit consists of nine FREE FLOW REVERSE CURRENT CHECK VALVE products and two Class 600 cold reheat check valves. In addition, this customer awarded four Class 900 cold reheat check valves for the Korea East- West Power DangJin Units 9 & 10.
Success for Weir SPM in the Canadian oil sands
Weir SPM’s Edmonton fi eld service group recently developed
a pilot project to meet the needs of a key customer. The team recognised an opportunity to increase the level of service provided to their clients and performed rotary breaker tire surface repairs for a key account in the oil sands market. The customer was pleased with the overall results of the project and placed another two orders. The group initially used equipment
from Weir in the USA before purchasing tire surfacing equipment. In addition to increasing their level of service to their oil sands clients, this capability allowed Weir SPM to pursue opportunities in the petrochemical and other mining sectors of the industry.
