Strata Worldwide is pleased to announce that the Strata HazardAvert TPL2 (tracking pad lamp) has been awarded Australian and New Zealand Ex intrinsically safe approval for use in underground coal mines in Australia and New Zealand.

The time has come for the construction industry to embrace emerging technologies. Too many companies are executing projects just as they did decades ago and risk falling behind the innovation curve. This article explains how adapting digital technologies can help you mitigate future risk and drive continued competitiveness. The construction industry is lagging behind other … Continue reading The Construction Industry Must Digitise →

While heavy fabrication welding is in high demand, the pressure to cut costs and increase productivity are constant challenges for companies operating within this sector.

While heavy fabrication welding is in high demand, the pressure to cut costs and increase productivity are constant challenges for companies operating within this sector. Improving the efficiency of welding equipment is essential for any operation, particularly in heavy fabrication welding such as mining fabrication, where a balance of robotics and skilled manual welding is … Continue reading World-first twin wire MIG solution redefines high deposition welding →

When matched with the right applications, metal-cored wire welding is a solution that provides a number of productivity and time-saving benefits.

Perhaps you’re an estimator who’s tried to use historical data to develop more accurate estimates. You’ve been plugging in some pricing and cost benchmarks, but you’re still not seeing the desired results. Read “A 4-Step Action Plan to Start Benchmarking Your Data” and learn to estimate with greater accuracy.

Aggreko’s new e-guide explores some of the top challenges currently facing the mining industry.

From monitoring gas levels and air quality in mines to protection from collisions for large vehicles at mine sites, SICK offers a wide range of sensors and systems to improve safety and to monitor potentially dangerous situations. SICK offers solutions for the analysis and control of underground coal mining atmospheres. The solutions supply the coal … Continue reading Ensuring productivity and protection in surface and underground mining →

For much of the industrial world, the old way of working isn’t working so well anymore. The traditional productivity and profitability levers that companies can pull have been pulled plenty. It’s time to find new sources of value and become more nimble. But what does that mean and what is the solution? It is estimated … Continue reading ABB white paper: The ROI of Digitalisation →

The status and condition of tailings dams need to be constantly monitored in order to ensure safe operations, avoid environmental damage and revenue loss in the event of a failure, and to address regulatory concerns.

The right controller solution is essential for effective monitoring on mine sites. Power over Ethernet-based camera set-ups represent an increasingly popular option, offering ruggedness, high performance and flexibility benefits.

The industrial world is on the verge of entering the next revolution: Industry 4.0. This is going to change control systems architecture, systems connectivity and sensors as we know it today.

The presence of flammable and toxic gases inside an underground mine can bring upon several health-related to the on-site workers.

This white paper discusses the causes of belt mistracking and provides an insight into how to identify the causes, and which devices or systems can be used to prevent mistracking.

Thickeners and clarifiers are both used to separate solids and liquid, but how do they differ? Simply put, thickeners focus on the settled solids, and clarifiers focus on the clear overflow liquid.

Traditionally, mine operators have relied on progressive cavity pumps (PCP’s) to dewater underground as they are able to deliver a set volume to a reasonably high head. A standard centrifugal pump, which is able to deliver the flow required, will be limited in head due to rotational speed constraints.

Attracting and retaining employees is a challenge for most industry sectors. In mining and resources, where demand for skills is growing, the pressure of renewed industry growth on a limited skills pool is perhaps one of the greatest challenges for HR leaders in the sector. Salary packaging may be the talent acquisition and retention solution … Continue reading Essential guide to benefits in mining and resources →

Quick question: how many phases are there in a project? Theory states five: concept, planning, execution, performance monitoring and closeout. In reality, though, most projects consider just two: planning and execution. To download the white paper, fill out the form below:

Today polyester resin anchors are used almost exclusively in the underground coal mining industries around the world, when rockbolts are used as primary support. In the underground metalliferous mining industry, polyester resin anchored rockbolts are rapidly gaining acceptance. Polyester resin anchors are used in preference to cement and mechanical type anchors because of the many … Continue reading Lokset®: A history of reliability →
