Connect Group delivered rotating equipment maintenance and replacement scopes across multiple surge feeder and apron feeder systems at CNRL, supporting reliable material handling operations within critical process areas.
The scopes included heavy mechanical maintenance, component replacement, feeder rebuild activities, structural and mechanical inspections, alignment verification, and installation support for high-duty apron feeder systems operating under abrasive service conditions.
Execution activities involved removal and replacement of feeder components, drive and shaft handling, chain and rail system maintenance, liner and wear component replacement, and coordination of crane and rigging operations within active brownfield environments.
CGI coordinated closely with operations, maintenance, and supporting subcontractors to execute outage-critical work safely and efficiently while maintaining schedule performance. Detailed planning and disciplined field execution supported controlled lifting, precision alignment, and successful return-to-service of the rotating equipment systems.
The projects highlight Connect Group’s capability to execute complex rotating equipment maintenance scopes across large industrial mining and oil sands facilities while integrating safety, quality, and outage execution controls.
Outcome:
✔ Multiple surge feeder and apron feeder scopes executed safely
✔ Mechanical rebuild and replacement activities completed within outage timelines
✔ Precision alignment and installation practices supported reliable operation
✔ Coordinated heavy mechanical and rigging execution in active operating environments
✔ Critical material handling systems restored to service
