Project Scope

The first of our major shiploader designs dating back to 1995. COVA designed and managed the construction of a woodchip receival and stockpiling system and a reclaim and out loading facility. Chips were received from trucks positioned on elevating tipper units and reclaimed by dozer into pits under the stockpile.
