Moving a 3,000 tonne dragline excavator in half the time

- One of the largest mining companies in Queensland, Australia, faced a major challenge. It needed to move a 3,000-tonne dragline excavator from one coal mine to another, almost 100 kilometers away. ‘Walking’ there would have caused significant wear-and-tear on the machine, and not allowed the company to take advantage of scheduled rail network shutdowns required to cross critical infrastructure.
Mammoet was able to provide a safe, effective solution to load, move and unload the dragline using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs), ensuring the company did not lose out on productivity for this vital piece of mining equipment.

I was the videographer on the original move of Dragline 26 from Gregory to Blackwater mines way back before this was done here... using crawlers... i have just had all the video downloaded to USB and will be posting soon
Like other commenters are saying, this is more like the company advertising itself.... it's just a 2:30 second video when most of us would obviously want to see more actual footage, details, and original sounds of the equipment and processes instead of them being completely edited out and replaced by the narrator's voice
Something about the brand - the thick strong letters, the red, the mammoth icon - all match it’s remarkable work history.
There is definitely enough story here to stretch this to 15, 20 minutes.
This is true. We try to keep it concise!
@@MammoetHeavyLifting I appreciate your making videos at all, don't get me wrong.
@Jim’s videos here is a longer clip that BHP made themselves. czcams.com/video/Anqc8eSVZIU/video.html

Great video, and agree that it could longer. One thing that is not mentioned in this video is the heavy duty DURA-BASE matting that was used on the project to prevent the dragline from subsiding while parked up over night. Each day the dragline would drive off of the temporary pad of heavy duty composite mats - the mats would be picked up and leap frogged ahead to the site where the dragline was schedule to park up again that night.
Here is our video which covers a little more of this aspect of the project:

I saw this on BHP's channel as a timelapse.
Always figured it was done in the Pilbara, sure saved a lot of time and labor in disassembly, reassembly.
These draglines are like basically buildings on feet!
Excellent Story - Looks like it worked better than the Lampson Crawlers in the late 90's
Whether you think you can. Or can not. You are right.
Henry Ford.
My uncle John ran a big dragline like that one. Outside Greenville Ky.
You could see 2 from the west ky parkway. His was the one furthest from the highway. The mine played out and he retired and it was moved.
Stunning. Well done!
Wow . Now that was a massive moving job .
Awesome.
Here in the UK we'd still be waiting for red tape to clear 20 years later and even then it would be a half solution and with a 300 km diversion because it doesn't look pretty to some people..
The great engineering work of co ordination of resources and courage
I love how the machine itself moves at the end.
It is interesting to see!
Mammoet "the biggest thing we move is time" that's very clever.
To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with this video at the start, but until I got to see this thing move on its own I was amazed! Literally moves like a space robot out of a movie, amazing!
Project management and scheduling at its best!
Yes it is! We love what we do :-)
Beyond the pale. Very extraordinary work/expertise. I am so impressed, I had to comment and subscribe. Cheers.
Thanks for joining our channel!
Like to see the bill on that move.
At least 500$.
Fosters
In the millions. Guaranteed.
Got several of those draglines back in my home town in southern Saskatchewan canada
We'll be here if they ever need them moved!
Hello Mammoet:
Awesome work!!!
Also, thanks to this video, I now know how to pronounce your name correctly.
Great job 👍👍
Cool walking drag.
And in the process created a 6 lane highway
I believe they had to (or felt obligated to) dig it all back up and plant trees, ridiculous waste of time if you ask me but that's 21st century AU mining nowadays, they do the same with most open-cut pits and fixed plant.
Saw Peabody move a 2570 a few years ago in Indiana
Great achievement
The project team did a great job.
Good job yes! That,s where real men are met
Man is amazing! We have risen to so many challenges; sadly; too many people think we're destroyers...smh
Time?? seriously!!
It's not a story it's a add for Mamoot however you spell it!
Here in the USA you just abandon it in the mine and find new investors to screw over.
That’s amazing
Awesome

What was the cost?
A lot...
No, cheaper than getting locals to do it...
Dale olson way cheaper than repairing it after a walk that far!
@@reynoutdecourt7983 not cheaper than locals. Locals would have spent a month pulling it apart and moved it in pieces. Here in Australia they have HEAPS of mines to the point you wouldn't believe it. They drilled tests cores for a future phosphorus mine to find it had the potential to be 75 miles wide. Yeah.... the state to the west of this has been found to have lots of potential mines but is yet to be opened up because it would likely flood the market on many major products like coal and iron ore.

wow big crane machine...
crane must have 2 tracks and dont need carrier with many axles wheels
It's earthmoving equipment. This generally doesn't have tracks but a giant swivel base and 2 sled like feet either side. I have been on a mini version of this. Known as a "dragline".
It’s called a “walking dragline”. Each side has a massive rectangular foot that’s attached to an eccentric linkage similar to a steam locomotive, but vertical. The feet alternately come down one side at a time and lift that side of the machine, then the eccentric motion moves the crane forward several feet (inches?) , then the foot rotates back and up, then forward when the crane is once again sitting on the ground, then forward and down again to begin the cycle all over. The foot on the other side is doing the same. Slow, but effective!

hi T T...

hi L K...

Why not just walk the dragline!!!! 12 years later.... lol
Too many trees in that part of the outback.
The draglines walk propel system would overheat.
How i do get job with mammoet companie? I'm a welder i do stick ,tig,flux ,sub arc, etc
Hi there, You can view and apply for open opportunities here: www.mammoet.com/careers/
so.......How much did it cost to prep the roads, move the rig......???? What was the total cost of this project soup to nuts...
Patrick Whelan $50m I believe

What unbelievably crap video quality.Is that the level of professionalism that Mammoet thinks is acceptable?
They are a heavy lifting/moving company not a media company.
