There were many factors that contributed to the impressive results delivered by IMR. Specialist personnel that have worked collectively over decades brought together knowledge from multiple disciplines and areas of expertise to complete the project successfully and in full.

The project saw managers, coordinators and supervisors work closely with the client, construction crews, external consulting firms and quality assurance personnel to manage and maintain the schedule. Though the project was not without its challenges, expertise, precise planning approach, monitoring and evaluation of the requirements ensured the completion of the refurbishment would be ahead of schedule.

The team have worked across a complete range of mills and almost every different reline machine on the globe, which contributes to knowledge of all things Liner handler related, that creates an environment where anything is possible when IMR are contracted. This level of service minimises any challenge restraints that were involved, although, no project is challenge proof. While the refurbishment was being carried out, the mill deck was being constructed and was subjected to high foot traffic and equipment congestion. The area being used on site to refurbish the machine was also very busy and IMR had to work in conjunction with multiple work fronts. Further challenges involved the inclusion of utilising local personnel, working alongside outside foreign contractors, strict deadlines and budgetary constraints. All factors contributed to a high risk environment, as such, it was critical to ensure that strict safety standards, legal obligations and performance standards were adhered to with all involved. Health and safety are the first and foremost objectives of any project IMR undertakes. The IMR team ensured these standards were maintained and exceeded at all times with safety inspections conducted before and after each shift, in-depth discussion of safety performances, and closely monitoring the shutdown stages and all contractors. The successful completion that was well under the scheduled time with zero incidents or injuries is a testament to the IMR team, the service they deliver and their primary focus on safety.
