Ahafo Mill Expansion Project Ghana , Newmont (May 2013 to April 2014) – Commodity was GoldProject Status: Project FEED phase completed Capital Cost: 580 Million USDResponsibilities: Lwandile was assigned as mechanical engineer to manage engineering, procurement, design, construction, installation, testing, training & commissioning of the gold process piping systems and Carbon in Leach tanks and its structures in Ghana. His scope of work included the generating piping specification for the whole plant, design and procurement of the SMP contract for the carbon in leach tanks. The CIL tanks SMP package included procurement of screens, carbon and cyanide circulating pumps, steel works


on top of the tanks and agitators for Cost Based Estimate. Lwandile also managed all the brown fields tie-ins. He created construction packages for the proper management of shutdowns. He also Lwandile had to do all tailings plant piping design and estimation of costs especially considering the cyanide contamination. Unfortunately the project had a scope reduction. Then we had to do scopes of works for the scope reduction and in some instances do closeouts.

Ngezi Phase II Concentrator and Mining Expansion Project Zimbabwe , Zimplats (2010 to 2013 May) – Commodity was Platinum Group MetalsProject Status: CompletedCapital Cost: 460 Million USDResponsibilities: Lwandile was assigned to manage engineering, procurement, design, construction, installation, testing, training & commissioning of the concentrator piping systems, fire piping systems, tailings piping systems and services. The piping packages that had to be procured and installed ranged from valves, power packs, pump, cooling systems, storage systems, mixing systems etc. and his main focus was piping where he was a piping engineer. The Piping was from all the dams around the mine, recirculating water, process water, water treatment plants etc. He managed contractors from South Africa who were doing Installations in Zimbabwe through Fidic Contract. One of the contracts alone was having a budget scope of R85 000 000.00. What was exceptional about the project was exposure into contract management and procurement where he managed Cosira whilst they were going through sequestration the followed by liquidation.

Lwandile managed design, procurement, installation, commissioning of the following work packages through FIDIC contract with Cosira Group as the main contractor. His scope of work included but not limited to the below1. 12.9 km of 250 mm Diameter HDPE Lined Pipeline from the concentrator to the tailings dam with specialist closures. 2.

Piping systems in the return water and Ngezi dam weir.5. Infrastructure piping and its mechanical axillaries around the process water, raw water, clear/filtered water dam, balancing dam and process water tank.6. Concentrator reticulation headers

from the above mentioned dams and up to the final point of use. This includes installation of controls valves into the piping system.7. Slurry pump piping systems i.e. rubber lined pipes, final alignment of the pumps and pump suctions. These slurry piping starts from the milling, through floatation up to the tailings area and concentrate storage area. This is a complex piping system which includes a lot of regulating valves, samplers’ in-between, cyclones, screening, floatation cells etc. 8. Instrument air pipe lines to the control valve and other systems of the concentrator.9. Sprinklers and fire hydrants on conveyors and concentrator critical areas like milling, floatation, tailings etc. and also rerouting existing fire line headers.

Consol Role: IS & Mechanical Services Manager - May 2011 – August 2011: Lwandile was responsible for the overall management of the mechanical services and IS services department based in the Consol Nigel Factory. Just for clarity, IS machine is the pneumatic machine that makes the bottle and it has its own department. My main responsibilities were:1. Ensure equipment availability and utilization and enforce effective use of equipment2. Manage the execution of maintenance schedules and adherence to maintenance standards3. Ensure availability of equipment spares 4. Ensure engineering support for job changes5. Ensure that all expenses ( e.g. overtime, spares and projects) are within budget6.

Consol - NigelRole: Mechanical Services Manager - November 2009 – April 2011 Lwandile was leading a team of six junior mechanical engineers to support the operation of 4 Consol plants + 1 sand mine and also the designing, installation and commissioning of mechanical utilities of a new plant.1. All plants report their utilities problems, then the services department facilitates the resolution of the problems, through re-engineering, or specifying equipment and the process2. These problems were run as projects, firstly a scope of work would be clearly identified by doing conceptual designs, once done a budgeting would be drawn and final designs were done. From there tendering documents were put together with auto CAD drawings, and then do adjudications, from there award tender working hand in hand with procurement. Once tenders were awarded Lwandile would ensure that safety requirements are complied to as prescribed. Once it complies with the OSHACT, contractor start installation at Lwandile’s supervision or at supervision of one of his subordinates. Lastly once the project is finished, a proper commissioning and hand over would be done. 3. Leading, mentoring and coaching junior engineers to be able to work efficiently and establish sound relationships with the factories so as to deliver projects of better quality within budget, specified time frames and within technical specifications.4, Standardizing mechanical equipment around the group.5. Overseeing all factory mechanical problems, designs, installations and commissioning.6. Doing feasibility studies and writing technical reports7. Getting scope of work together and do budgeting. Once budget was approved, do designing, overlooking the installation, commissioning and handover.
