The overwhelming majority of construction and mining projects require some degree of temporary lighting. Traditional solutions have included bulb- and tube-based lamps such as metal halide fixtures, light bulb strings, and halide and halogen floor lamps.
While effective, these solutions have not been without drawbacks. Common to all of these traditional methods are the high amperage draw, allowing for very limited “daisy-chaining” and requiring multiple electrical circuits to light job sites of
In the unlikely event of a 7495 Shovel being Struck by lightning, The shovel itself will act as a Faraday cage given the fact that it´s built of conductive metal and solidly connected to ground by the crawlers.
If during maintenance/servicing a 7495 Shovel you´re caught into a weather alert and are not able to evacuate, consider the Shovel as a shelter, go into the operator cab and make sure all windows are up. Do NOT leave the Shovel until all weather alerts have been cleared.
Have a safe Weekend
Legitimate Miners face various challenges ranging from environmental, management, personnel, community, government to even security challenges. The paper is concerned about the security challenges. One of such challenge one should be ready to face and seen in most mining areas are the activities of artisan miners also called illegal miners.
The more the value of a particular natural deposit, the more tendencies to experience the presence of these illegal miners. From research done by the write
The mining industry is so colossal that I thought it would be genuine to set off the first among several conversations not in terms of sectors (crushing, maintenance, drilling, processing, tunneling, underground mining, etc.), but connectivity, for what it is worth, which I believe is one of the most sensitive aspects in mining as it touches all those sectors.
I want to be more specific here, otherwise, this discussion may take us to a lengthy journey and I am not a mining guru to pursue such a v
Digitalization is a very popular buzz word these days. So trendy that there is a risk to digitalize for the sake of digitalization.
How to avoid this pitfall? When it is a must and when is it just a nice to have gadget? Should we go for a cloud? Make infrastructure serverless and use SOA with micro services? Where should we employ IoT, automation, Machine Learning, AI, blockchain or BigData?
One of the Gurus of the IT world came up with the Rule of Three that says: Use only 3 new technologies
One of the most strategic person in any mines is the Human Resource Person on site. This is because he is concerned primarily in the payment of the mine staff. Like most casual workers in parts of the world, mine workers made up mostly of labourers are concerned primarily with their money after work. For them, after being "stressed" from work, the only "good" thing the employer can do is to pay him/her what is due.
On this note, the HR personnel on site must be sensitive to the above concerned
