Project Summary

Continuing our relationship with PCS, DR Anderson was selected as General Contractor for PCS’ Weeping Water Mine Maintenance Facility. DRA has previously completed PCS’ Raymond Mill installation, Safe Haven project, Load-out Addition, Quality Control Lab Remodel, and Administration Office Remodel.

The Maintenance facility includes offices for the Mine Foreman as well as conference room, lockers, and a break room for the miners. The maintenance area includes extra thick floors and large overhead doors for servicing off-road haul-trucks and other mine equipment.

The facility also includes and innovative water recycling system. Rain water is collected in an underground cistern. Water is then filtered, ran through a high pressure pump, and used to wash equipment.

PCS’ Weeping Water site is an operating mine site and is regulated by Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) part 48 requirements. DRA site and management personnel completed MSHA training and prepared a site specific Part 48 plan. With this training and plan in place, DRA can work on any site regulated by MSHA.
