PROJECT INVOLVEMENT
Engagement is a critical step in the construction and maintenance of mine shafts Correct installation of components critical
Published: 29 Mar 24
A successful shaft sinking project entails the correct installation of various components timeously, in addition to experienced personnel working on the project from the outset and maximising the time spent at shaft bottom, says fastener supplier Swagefast sales manager Neil Koen. The company’s involvement in projects such as the K4 Shaft at diversified miner Ivanhoe Mines’ Platreef platinum group metals and nickel mine, in Limpopo, underscores the importance of specialised suppliers in ensuring the integrity and success of complex engineering projects, such as shaft sinking, he adds.
TRANSFER CHUTE INSTALLATION
Though transfer chutes may not be directly involved in the shaft sinking stage of development of a mine, they can used later during materials handling within the mine Company improves efficiency, safety in underground operations
Published: 29 Mar 24
There is a growing acknowledgement over the past few years that transfer points and chutes significantly influence overall process plant performance, says engineering company Weba Chute Systems, which adds that these components now command more attention owing to their potential to disrupt plant processes and incur high costs in downtime, maintenance and repairs. Weba Chute Systems provides transfer point solutions which will benefit contract miners for ore handling in underground mines.

Forty kilometres from the front line of the war in Ukraine, vertically integrated mining and metals company Metinvest has commissioned its eleventh longwall for coking coal in Block 10 of the Pokrovske Colliery, enabling the group of companies to produce almost one-million tonnes of coal. Pokrovske Coal CEO Andriy Akulich says the timely preparation of the new longwall is a “positive result of the long, hard work of every employee of the business”.
 An image if Professor Nicola Wagner Coal mining remains important
Published: 29 Mar 24
A prosperous future for the coal mining industry in South Africa depends on public and private sector parties tapping into its vast coal reserves, and power generation processes by State-owned power utility Eskom that comply with gas emission regulations, says nonprofit coal advocacy organisation FFF Carbon chairperson Professor Nicola Wagner. Repairing electricity-generating machinery efficiently must be prioritised to combat loadshedding, in addition to timely maintenance of generation plants to improve Eskom’s coal-fired power plant energy availability factor, Wagner adds.
