The scope of this project was to rope-up a new Koepe hoist. As this shaft was a bare shaft, the scope of work included the installation of all new guide ropes, balance ropes and head ropes along with the installation of a new cage and counterweight. One 65,000 lbs. stage winches that was used in the sinking of the shaft was utilized as the primary winch to pull up the new ropes from the potash level. As the underground work area was accessed by going underground at shaft #2, followed by a 45-minute commute to the work area, staggered crew start times were utilized to have work being completed 24 hours per day. Fortis supplied all other equipment related to the project which included but not limited to hydraulic reeling machines, mobile reel handler unit, any and all rigging as well as a tractor trailer unit for the installation of the cage. The project was successfully completed within the scheduled timeline.
