Background

About Brian Evans

I am a Primavera P6 scheduler and technical writer whose work focuses on the safety of equipment operators and installation and maintenance crews before all else. My previous experience in the mining industry (before learning P6) included projects up to $200 million, and managing projects up to $2M. Before joining this industry, I had a writing position with the Scottsdale Republic for a few years. There, my editors helped me to better appreciate a good story, and I continue to use a story-telling approach when writing about conveyors for TNT. It's important to remember the human aspect of equipment and avoid losing sight of operator safety. Each project is unique and each conveyor is custom designed, which presents new and different challenges to me all the time. I've discovered that behind their smooth, steady motion, conveyors have many complexities that go unnoticed at first. Articles I wrote about TNT's design work were published in the Apr. and Nov. 2014 issues of Mining Magazine and the Dec. 2015 issue of World Coal magazine.
