HTSA on growth path
Hansen Transmissions SA (Pty) Ltd (HTSA), local subsidiary of the Belgium-based Hansen Industrial Transmissions nv has secured numerous large orders from collieries as well as the energy sector during 2010 and again in 2011 and HTSA MD Fritz Fourie, is optimistic that this is just the beginning. "The positive signs for growth across all sectors are there. We are more than ready; as a subsidiary of Hansen Industrial Transmissions nv, we have access to world class R&D as well as cutting edge technology to ensure continued delivery of state-of-the art drive solutions to local mining and industry."
Tritton Copper Mine implements Gemcom InSiteTM
Tritton joins a growing list of operations around the world that are turning to InSite as their mine production management solution.
According to Katie Yamaguchi, Tritton's mine geology superintendent: "We have introduced a central data repository where all mining production information is entered into one system - Gemcom InSite. From here we will draw all of our daily, weekly and monthly production reports. This project will reduce data double handling, improve accuracy of data used for reporting, and provide a single source for all production data."
Gemcom Minex 6.1 is the latest version of the industry's integrated end-to-end software solution designed specifically for stratified deposits. Minex seamlessly links key processes including geology, optimisation, mine design, interactive scheduling and rehabilitation to improve productivity and profitability throughout the mining lifecycle.
This new version focuses on underground mine design and reserves and project file management, while at the same time delivering vastly improved interoperability, usability and stability.
Cosira focused on growth
In a strategy to create a sustainable business model centred on calculated growth, Silva Group Holdings recently restructured its assets into four key areas namely: Cosira Group; Silva Plant and Logistics; Silva Corrosion Solutions and Silva Property Investments.
This traditionally family-owned and run business exhibits an entrepreneurial spirit that has carried it through the past 23 years; but had identified that in order for the Cosira Group to become the leading contender in the South African structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, plating and pipeworking construction arena, change was inevitable.
The appointment of Jean-Raoul Charoux as MD of Projects last year has reinforced the company's intention. With over 35 years' intensive experience in the construction industry, 20 of which were at a senior managerial and leadership level, Charoux is ideally qualified to take Cosira into the next phase of its development.
