Our Services

Specialising in conveyor alignments, Doran Site Services is often referred to as the “Conveyor Surveyor.”

Services offered include initial construction of conveyors, vertical curve design,solving belt tracking issues and quality control of components for alignment during maintenance operations.

Underground conveyors, stockpile conveyors for coal handling facilities, horizontal curved conveyors,machine mounted conveyors and overland conveyors are all included.

With regards to conveyor alignment and trouble shooting, a methodical approach is adopted, initially all pulleys are surveyed for level, position and square relative to direction of belt centreline. The idlers, both carry and return, are then approached in a similar manner and surveyed for level, position and square relative to belt centreline. Any misalignments are adjusted as required.

During construction phases there is often pressure to meet deadlines and some alignments may not be given sufficient importance. Doran Site Services has generated a considerable success in being able to do a significant amount of survey whilst belts are in operation and conveying material. This reduces down time and allows production to continue.

Correctly aligned conveyor components significantly improves operational life especially belts, pulleys and idlers. This requires less maintenance tasks and corresponding loss of production due to shutdowns.

Spillage also adds to cleanup costs.
