Rob Taylor
Now happily retired!
After graduating from Lanchester Polytechnic (Coventry) with an Honours Degree in Engineering, Rob worked in the international mining and metallurgy industry for over 40 years.
His experience included underground mining and shaft systems, open pit and dredge mining, together with hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical process plants and infrastructure.
He held senior managerial positions with mining and engineering companies, and he also sub-contracted to UK based mining consultants..
Below are photos from a few of the projects that Rob has managed - many in remote locations and some in extremes of climate!
-40 deg C in Canada
A six month assignment to expand and re-commission a mill complex in Ontario, Canada.
This necessitated procurement and installation of a new primary ball mill, a new cone crusher, screen and associated equipment, structures, drives and controls. Rob liaised with the engineering design team in London and coordinated international equipment suppliers, while managing the site project team, local fabrication and erection contractors, with close liaison with mine management and staff.
The timetable for this fast-track project was very ambitious, but was completed on schedule and within budget with zero lost-time accidents.
+45 deg C in Central African Republic
Compilation of a Scoping Study for a gold deposit in the Central African Republic.
This required a visit to the remote geological exploration camp and meetings with local government representatives and local contractors.
The Study was compiled to the satisfaction of the client who provided the geological data and wrote that chapter of the report. Rob coordinated the mining, mineral processing and tailings management chapters of the report by an international specialist consultants. Rob wrote the utilities and infrastructure chapter using quotations from suppliers.
