29Metals: Full Turnkey Fabric Shelter Workshop for Golden Grove Mine Site

29Metals is focused on mining copper and precious metals with a deep commitment to safety and sustainability. Their Golden Grove site in WA is world-class, carrying a proud legacy that started with the discovery of the Gossan Hill deposit back in 1971. Over the decades, the site has grown from the Scuddles underground mine in the late ’80s to massive open-pit operations today. It’s a 24/7, high-intensity environment that requires a serious, reliable infrastructure to support its high-output, continuous operations.

The Project Brief

To support their growing operations at Golden Grove, 29Metals needed a massive, multi-functional workshop setup. It requires an adequate space to easily service heavy mining equipment and light vehicles, while leaving plenty of room for a dedicated electrical maintenance area. Because of the demanding environment and rapid growth of the mining operation, they needed an engineered solution that was compliant, durable, and ready to deploy fast.

They reached out to Allshelter for a complete turnkey package of container-mounted fabric shelters. The challenge was not just meeting the requested technical specifications; Allshelter has demonstrated agile engineering expertise and the collaborative support required to successfully execute a complex, multi-structure installation on a tight timeline.
