Gold may not be the first thing that comes to mind during a U.S. election…
But as votes are counted on the other side of the globe, it’s worth recalling the 2016 election. Back then, gold prices surged following Donald Trump’s win, underscoring the enduring global value placed on this precious metal. Yet, while gold is often seen as the ultimate asset, another resource is just as essential to the gold industry: water.
It’s because when it comes to gold mining, water plays an important at nearly every stage of the process, from grinding ore to chemical separation. So it’s no surprise why when our gold mining client from Kalgoorlie, wanted two 50,000L water tanks, they had to be made fast and could endure the area’s harsh conditions.
Our response was a tailored solution: two 50,000L tanks designed to handle the rigors of mining. We engineered these tanks with features that maximise operational efficiency, including easy-to-access flanged inlets and outlets for streamlined maintenance and consistent flow. Reinforced inspection hatches make regular quality checks straightforward, while vermin-proof vents maintain the water’s purity by preventing contamination. Lifting points were also integrated for safe, efficient maneuvering in challenging mining environments.
By partnering with West Coast Poly, our client secured not only a water storage solution but a sustainable approach to resource management. Our tanks are built to protect a critical asset that’s just as vital to gold mining as gold itself.
In an industry that values every ounce, we’re proud to provide solutions that respect the resources making it possible.
