Electrical and mechanical breakdowns – particularly $100 million draglines and other pieces of high-value, specialist equipment – can expose mine operators to shutdowns lasting weeks or months. In fact, mining is one of the industries most exposed to equipment failure losses. To find out more, download the white paper below:

Most mine sites have flammable liquids. This means workers are threatened potential explosions, fires, burns and other hazards due to these liquids

Following the mining industry downturn in 2011, miners have focused on cost reduction through stretching maintenance schedules and aggressive supply chain practices, often to the detriment of asset reliability.

Level measurement is a fundamental process in almost all industries. As production processes become increasingly complex it’s more important than ever to have the appropriate tools and technology to control and monitor your processes accurately and with ease. Working in often harsh, complicated and dangerous environments with increasingly stringent regulatory guidance, engineers are increasingly in … Continue reading Outstanding results with the latest in radar level measurement technology →

It is common during the tailings process for thickeners and filter press circuits to have their own control systems, which can cause efficiency and reliability issues during tailings management.

There is no doubt that the recent reclassification of welding fume as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC) has encouraged many welders and workplaces to rethink their stance on welders’ respiratory protection.

One of the most overlooked influencers in human error and accident causation is the effect of fatigue.

When researchers from Ernst and Young interviewed more than 60 senior mining executives from around the world last year, one word dominated the conversation – productivity.

It is common during the tailings process for thickeners and filter press circuits to have their own control systems, which can cause efficiency and reliability issues during tailings management. The automation and combination of these systems can bring a whole host of benefits to the tailings management process.
