Cristal Mining awarded as Toll collaboration doubles capacity
THE collaboration forwarder Toll Intermodal and Cristal Mining Australia to create a supply hub in Broken Hill, which has resulted in the doubling of capacity of minerals shipped to Adelaide.
This has resulted in the mining company being named the winner of the Entrepreneurial Procurement Organisation of the Year at the 2016 Procurement and Supply Australasia Awards.
As one of the largest producers of titanium dioxide and titanium chemicals, Cristal Mining required a solution for its Broken Hill hub that would improve efficiencies and increase capacity to accommodate growth 15 years into the future.
The Toll solution involved infrastructure improvements allowing longer and heavier trains to increase capacity.
Then the hard stand was expanded by 6,000 square metres and the rail line was lengthened 400 metres. By pre-loading containers to allow a new container-on container-off approach, together with more powerful and efficient material handling equipment, loading time reduced from 18 hours to five.
These modifications resulted in increasing the payload on every train by 40 per cent and a 30 per cent reduction in train paths - improving environmental impact with less fuel and carbon emissions.
