Master Plan For Sustainable Development Of
Gol-e-Gohar Mine and Industry Complex
On the 8th of
Aban 1391(29/10/2012) the results of the final
Master Plan Report was presented to a group of 60
people comprising of the managing directors of the
companies of the Complex as well as the managers ,
experts and consultants of the expansion projects.
Gol e Gohar Mining and Industrial Company has chosen
VADATEC Consortium comprising of the Iranian Company
Varia Tarh Pars and the Italian Companies ECOMIN and
DARYATEC with the leadership of Varia Tarh Pars as
the Consulting Body for the Master Plan Studies of
the Gol e Gohar Mining and Industrial Complex in
Sirjan.
A group of professors from the Environmental Faculty
of Tehran University for the environmental ,
architectural and landscaping studies , Amoodrah
Company for roads and railways and the Academic
Group from the Center for the Forestry and Pastures
Research have also collaborated with VADATEC
Consortium.
For realizing the aims and performing the studies,
the Master Plan has been divided into the following
disciplines:
1. The project for the development
and plot plan of Gol e Gohar Mining and Industrial
Complex.
2. The projects for expansion of the mines ,
processing lines, pelletizing and management of
tailings.
3. Direct reduction and steel making lines and
production of flat and long products.
4. The expansion infrastructure projects for water,
electricity, gas, surface water, traffic, roads and
railways and transport of the materials in the
Complex.
5. The study of environmental compound effects,
health and safety of the Complex
6. The project for green areas and the choice of the
plant species suitable for the Zone.
7. The plot plans and architectural studies for the
Complex.
8. The supporting industries for the Zone.
9. Financial planning of the expansion projects for
the Zone.
The area for the
Master Plan Studies is about 19,000 hectars and is
limited to:
Sirjan -Shiraz road in the north , Gol e Gohar
Railway station in the east, Bahram Goor Protected
Area in the west and a range of mountains in the
south.
In the said meeting it was declared that among the
major points that have been reflected in the reports
and presented to Gol e Gohar Mining and Industrial
Company are the following:
1. Grand strategy of the expansion
projects for the Gol e Gohar Mining and Industrial
Complex.
2. Grand sectional plan in 21 working sections.
3. Simulation of the mines reserves lives versus
concentration lines needs for ROM and the
requirements for energy, water and other fluids for
the expansion projects.
4. Coordination of interdependent matters and
updating the mines exploitation methods, processing
lines, steel producing lines including direct
reduction, electric arc furnace , continuous
casting, rolling of flat and long products.
5. Guidelines for planning and engineering of
simultaneous production from open pit and
underground methods from Mine No 3.
6. Project for supply of ROM, concentrate and
pellets by conveyor belt between the industrial
units and supply of ROM , concentrate and pellets
from outside the Complex if necessary.
7. Study of the traffic in the Complex and the
project for the connecting roads from outside and
between the industrial units for heavy and light
vehicles.
8. The project for the rail terminal and the railway
connections between the terminal and the industrial
units.
9. Management and safety of the present tailings
ponds and the layout for the future tailings depot.
10. The project for recovering water from the
tailings ponds and dry tailings depot in the
predetermined spots.
11. The scenarios for supply of energy by
considering the limitations in the supply of
electricity, the transmission lines, the short
circuit capacity and the time schedule for expansion
of the power plants and their connection to the
national network.
12. Evaluation and summing up of the consumption and
the quality of the water and the industrial and
human sewage of the industrial units.
13. Evaluation and summing up of the gas consumption
and the distribution of the gas pressure reducing
stations for the industrial units.
14. Preparation of the plot plan and layout for the
Complex
15. Preparation of the landscape for the Complex.
16. Designing of the corridors allocated for the
distribution of electricity, gas, fluids and
tailings.
17. The project for protection of the mines, and
industrial areas form the running surface water.
18. The project for collecting the surface water and
conducting it to the predetermined ponds.
19. The general design for the shunting yard of the
freight wagons and the railway lines for the
expansion projects.
20. Defining the cultivation patterns and the plant
species for the Complex.
21. Designing of the green areas within the general
lay out of the Complex.
22. Guidelines for evaluating the combined effects
of the environmental problems for the whole Complex.
23. Guidelines for industrial health and safety,
emergency and fire fighting for the whole Complex.
24. The project for the supporting and ancillary
industries for the Complex.
25. Financial planning for the Expansion Projects.
