Connect Group executed rotating equipment maintenance, repair, and replacement scopes across multiple crusher and surge apron feeder systems at Suncor Base Plant.
The projects involved outage-critical work on high-duty feeder systems operating within abrasive oil sands service conditions. Scope activities included feeder component replacement, wear liner and rail maintenance, chain and drive system work, shaft handling, mechanical alignment, structural support repairs, and complete system reinstatement.
The execution strategy emphasized detailed pre-planning, heavy lift coordination, controlled mechanical sequencing, and integration between field supervision, rigging, welding, and QA/QC teams to safely manage complex maintenance activities in congested brownfield operating environments.
CGI supported outage schedules through disciplined execution practices, proactive workface coordination, and precision installation methods designed to minimize downtime and support reliable equipment performance following startup.
These projects demonstrate Connect Group’s experience executing rotating equipment maintenance scopes on some of the oil sands industry’s most critical material handling assets.
Outcome:
✔ Rotating equipment maintenance and rebuild scopes completed safely
✔ Wear component, rail, and drive system repairs executed within outage timelines
✔ Precision alignment and reinstatement supported reliable startup
✔ Integrated outage coordination maintained across multiple feeder systems
✔ Critical crusher and surge feeder assets returned to service efficiently
