Successful project doesn’t just start with technical specifications and input data only; sometimes it begins with a hard hat, site visit, and the opportunity to see firsthand how the facility operates.

DELTA specialists made a site visit to PJSC “Gaisky GOK” within the feasibility study for the Project “Processing of the Kvarken ore of PJSC “Gaisky GOK” Concentrator.” The goal of the project is to develop solutions for processing ore to produce copper concentrate.

Seeing the Production Firsthand

During the site visit, DELTA’s specialists conducted a visual inspection of the facilities, collected additional baseline data, and discussed technical issues directly with the plant’s employees. The itinerary was extensive: the team familiarized themselves with both the tailings management facilities and the main processing stages of the concentrator.

The most valuable asset is the experience of those who know the production process from the inside

Alexey Vinokurov, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Concentrator, gave the DELTA team a tour of the site. It is precisely this kind of experience that is particularly valuable to specialists involved in design and project work. Behind every process decision lie not only numbers and formulas, but also real-world operational experience.

From the site to calculations and solutions

Based on the survey results, DELTA’s specialists are continuing to work on a feasibility study for processing ore from the Kvarken field deposits at the Gaisky Concentrator.

The site provides the engineer with context. The experience of production specialists offers practical insight. And the calculations help transform all of this into a well-founded technical solution. It is at the intersection of these three components that a high-quality engineering project begins.
