Eight Ore Bins

A Rich History

Our highly specialized engineers are widely respected and recognized across the industry for developing the tubular ore conveyor, the most modern equipment for this type of service in its time.

As the use of tailings for underground backfill became more common within the industry, TIW worked with one of the largest Canadian mining companies to design, fabricate and field erect the necessary tanks to store the treated tailings before pumping the residue underground for backfill.

The company also played an integral role in Canada’s rapid emergence as a leading uranium producer, satisfying heavy demand for open top tanks, thickener tanks, ore bins and sulphuric acid storage tanks. We proudly contributed shop fabricated and field erected open top tanks, small and large diameter thickener tanks and huge capacity ore bins. Using our design, shop facilities and field crews, we successfully erected on time and on budget at the mine site.
