Diverse expertise
The Cadia Systems Difference
CADIA SYSTEMS was established in 2016, by original Directors Sean Galvin (Be Hons Mat) and Dene Dethian (Qualified Gas Fitter – type B class). The company was created with the intention of delivering world class engineering solutions primarily to the Gold Mining Industry – with the ability to design, manufacture, install and commission all parts of the desorption, regeneration and goldroom facilities.
Cadia employs a small, highly proficient group of staff across multiple disciplines including Engineers, Draftspersons, Electrical Designers and fabrication welders and fitters. We can execute works that cover scope including mechanical, electrical and structural designs, detailed drafting, OEM equipment fabrication and project delivery and commissioning of OEM projects.
Cadia is discerning in its project work it undertakes with a focus on delivering a quality outcome for projects were we either design or build equipment directly for the projects. Primarily our works are direct client engagement and a select group of EPC engineering with which we partner. Our approach is always collabartive with a view of building a highly successful and quality outcome with our clients.
In 2019 At the Perth World Gold Conference, Cadia announced a collaboration with Gekko Systems to utilise Gekko’s advanced manufacturing facilities and worldwide coverage to deliver Cadia’s OEM designs, as turn key project deliverables for modular elution and regeneration systems world wide.
Smarter Together through Collaboration
Gekko-Cadia Collaboration
Cadia Systems Chief Engineer, Sean Galvin has extensive worldwide experience in the design and commissioning of elution systems, having designed, reviewed and optimised systems for the likes of Agnico Eagle, Metso Minerals, Barrick, Randgold and others.
Cadia’s expertise lies the engineering, manufacture, commissioning of high end performing elution systems.
Gekko Systems is renowned for its innovation in the gold industry with the development of engineering systems like the In-line Pressure Jig, the gravity Intensive Leach Reactor (ILR) and other modular systems, such as the Python. For over 25 years Gekko has been successfully delivering and commissioning plants worldwide.
At the World Gold Conference in Perth in 2019, Cadia and Gekko announced their collaboration to provide the market with turn key modular systems for elution, regeneration and Gold Room, providing the expert knowledge of Cadia with the delivery capability and technical expertise of Gekko Systems
The collaboration sees Cadia provide their OEM equipment and system designs to Gekko’s state-of-the-art Ballarat Manufacturing Facility for construction and integration into the final turn key system.
The result is the highest quality, highest performing systems on the market today, delivered in outstanding times.
