Project Portfolio

At Waycon, we have successfully completed a diverse range of projects, from large-scale operations to specialized solutions:

Lime Silo & Conveyor System: We engineered and manufactured a comprehensive lime silo and conveyor system for Kinross Gold Mine in Fairbanks, Alaska. This heavily engineered project was completed in three months at our facility and required transporting the equipment via four truck shipments from Southern BC to Alaska in 2010 and again in 2019.

Customized Solutions for Teck Metals: In collaboration with Teck Metals in Trail, we built a launder system for conveying slurry and liquids within processing plants. Additionally, we provided a Lead Smelting ESP Drag Chain Conveyor Tail End Enclosure, along with various custom projects to support their operations effectively.
