Tshepong Mine, Harmony Gold
Located just 250km outside of Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Tshepong underground mining operation is one of the largest gold mines in the country.
Challenges Faced
Expanding and enforcing protocols
In 2017, the team at Harmony approached us.
Their operation was expanding and connecting to their close by Phakisa mine. They were struggling to integrate these two operations and effectively manage a growing site of this magnitude.
The team needed to find a solution that allowed them to enforce their protocols and code of practice. They also needed a system to manage and control their expanding list of equipment.
Solutions Implemented
Lamproom Management Missing Person Locator Railbound Technology
We installed part of our comprehensive mine management offering. This included our Lamproom Management system, our Missing Person Locator, and our 1000CT Locomotive Controllers.
We now also provide 24/7 on-site lamproom management and support, taking significant responsibility for daily operations.
