Fortis Installs Feeder Cables at Potash Mine

Historically at Fortis we have excelled at handling challenging mining projects.   Here is another great example of a past project successfully completed by Fortis Mining Engineering and Manufacturing for Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Lanigan Division.

In July of 2011, Fortis was contracted to install six 25kV Feeder Cables in the Service Shaft. Fortis successfully completed the installation of three cables in 2011 and the remaining three in July 2012. Fortis utilizes a cross head with integrated camera to guide the cable down the shaft to the lower drift level at the bottom of the shaft. The cross head is assembled in the shaft on top of the skip or cage. Camera provides live video of the cable being lowered down the shaft. Fortis is using a load cell to monitor the weight at the sheave.



Fortis has worked with many of the local potash mines in Saskatchewan.

Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan,  Lanigan division mine

Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Cory division mine

Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Allan division mine
