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.

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 →

Hydraulic cylinders are some of the most hardworking components in any operation. We ask a lot of these simple actuators. They are often required to run at high duty cycles, with extreme pressure loads in tough environments. There are many reasons for a hydraulic cylinder to fail including fluid contamination, seal failure, bent or scored … Continue reading Hydraulic Cylinder Repair: The Complete Guide →

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being utilised in construction project planning. But human intelligence (HI) is an equally important element in creating more realistic and achievable plans. Read our brochure and learn how AI + HI can boost a planner’s confidence in on-time, on-budget project delivery.

Can you find your way? If you are an experienced miner, you can probably find your way most of the time in the mine. On the other hand, if you are not familiar with the mine (a new employee, subcontractors etc), it is not easy to find your way around and you might need assistance … Continue reading Mobilaris Onboard™ enables real-time information for everyone in the mine →
