The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Project will provide facilities to enable a world-class program in neutrino physics that can measure fundamental physical parameters, explore physics beyond the Standard Model and better elucidate the nature of matter and anti-matter. Specifically, LBNF will build a new high-intensity neutrino beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) that is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance (FRA), aimed at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) that is operated by the South Dakota Science and Technology Authority (SDSTA), 1,300 km away, where a neutrino detector will be built. The experiment will be optimized for precision measurement of neutrino oscillations with the goal of searching for charge parity-violation in the neutrino sector, as well as making other precision oscillation measurements.

The Department of Energy (DOE) is funding the LBNF Project for design and construction of its far site conventional facilities to house the neutrino detector. One component of this project will include construction of a system to allow removal of approximately 875,000 short tons of excavated material from the SURF site over a period of approximately 3 years.

Basic System Description:

To furnish all labor, material, equipment, transportation and supervision necessary to finalize design, fabricate, and deliver a Pipe Conveyor System to transport material from the Fine Ore Bin discharge chutes at the "Tramway" at the SURF to a repository in the nearby Homestake Open Cut. The Tramway is an existing ~3,000 foot long underground tunnel previously used for gold ore transport located as much as 200 feet deep underground while ending on surface.
