Ranger HME Disassembly. Cleaning & Minor Repairs

ERA – Ranger Mine (NT, Australia)

ERA is seeking a single prime contractor to perform full disassembly, cleaning, decontamination, minor mechanical repairs, and preparation for radiation clearance of Heavy Mobile Equipment (HME) and selected assets at Ranger Mine. The contractor must prepare all assets to a radiation‑test‑ready and load‑ready condition for eventual sale and offsite transport (transport coordinated by ERA).

Program duration: minimum 3 months, delivered in phased batches.

Asset Context

Fleet includes: 785 haul trucks, D10/D11 dozers, EX2500 excavators, graders, wheel loaders, service/water trucks, crushing/screening units, forklifts, skid steers, trailers, and other ancillary equipment in various states of operation.

A detailed asset register will be provided at RFT.

Scope of Services

1. Cleaning, Decontamination & Disassembly

Full external and targeted internal cleaning to ERA standards.

Removal of mud, debris, hydrocarbons using hot wash, steam, degreasers, and selective blasting.

Most assets require disassembly to access contamination points and meet transport requirements.

2. Radiation Testing Support

Present assets for ERA’s staged radiation checks.

Re‑clean as required until clearance is achieved.

Maintain “clean‑hold” areas.

Note: ERA performs all radiation testing and issues clearance.
