48” Tensionable Tail End

Thoresby Colliery

Thoresby Colliery approached Philford Design, with a specific specification and requirements for a 48” Tensionable Tail End for their coal prep plant.

A site survey was carried out, measuring all site constraints and possible connection steelwork. Once all measuring was complete a new design was produced by Philfords, ensuring all parts of the specification and site survey was followed so the design could be approved by Thoresby colliery.

When the design was completed, all drawings were issued to manufacture so the base steel work could be produced. Once all steelwork was manufactured, it was fitted together for testing purposes, allowing all components to be tested under hydraulic pressure. After this testing period was complete and inspected, all components were painted to the required finishing standards.
