Budgetary Cost for Pipe Conveyor

Enquiry for a budgetary cost for Pipe conveyor

dear all

We are planning for a Pipe conveyor to tranfer coal from a Coal Jetty to Stackyard. the distance btwn the two is about 10km (over sea). The unloading will be done by two Ship unloaders of 2300tph each. We have to provide a conveyor system to match this handling rate.

The conveyor routing is predominantly flat and straight.

(pipe conveyor chosen due to environmental constrains)

So I request the honourbl members of the forum to provide a budgetry cost for the project (with appropriate technical specifications) for the pipe conveyor system.

Can contact (andy7512@gmail.com) me for any further details required to provide the specs.

Transporting 4600 t/h over 10 km will cos,t in rough number, 30 million USD installed. This number does not include country conditions, tariffs, foreign infrastructure et al.

More information is needed to size the system in detail.

1. Product size distribution

2. Country location

3. Environmental conditions - wind, temp, etc.

4. Product density

5. Structures to be considered

6. I am sure you know the drill on necessary design details heretofore not noted

I believe the number might be good for one country, not so good for another.

If you are looking for a 30%, then you have it.

Sizes come with effort.

Dear Andy,

i just read the small print in your request

"distance btwn the two is about 10km (over sea)."

" with appropriate technical specifications "

unquote.

Please tell, are you member of a consultant team doing budgeting for a RFQ? Please could you consider then the rough engineering + budgeting of a pipe conveyor / with oversea routing !!!/ something of an "actionable+value-adding" task that is imo done by specialised companies for, well, let's name it a compensation? And with, let's name it something like a warranty, of a feasability / reality of pricing etc ?

(Just my way of understanding your post..)

In any case, i (personally) wouldn`t like to be a bidder against a "googled" budget for such an installation.

Just an afterthought...

There's lot's of people & companies out there who would be glad to offer their SERVICES as a sub! You could even start within this forum, having even / already received professional engineering input to your request. Then there's also a forum for new tenders / projects / inquiries or so.. Think about it.

Best wishes for your project & Regards
