<p>Vale Newfoundland & Labrador Limited (Vale NL) are inviting submissions of an Expression of Interest for a potential opportunity to support the Voisey’s Bay Mine Expansion Project in Voisey’s Bay, NL.<span lang="EN" style="'color:" black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;'><br /> <br /><font size="2"> Pipe & Fittings (Bulk) - This piping will be used for the U/G paste backfill pipeline system for the Reid Brook Mine. This includes but it is not limited to high pressure piping (CS, Sch. 120, DN200), medium pressure piping (CS, Sch. 80, DN200), and level piping (CS, Sch. 40, DN200). The required end connections may be grooved, or pre-spooled with flanged connections. Although most of the scope entails the supply of straight lengths of pipe with a specified end connection, prefabrication of spools will be required (for example: swing bends, clean out tees, and pressure relief tees).  Finally, this scope also includes the supply of ceramic lined elbows (6mm, ceramic bead in resin wear layer), with both grooved and flanged connections.</font> </span></p><p><br /></p>
