ON THE COVER: Murray & Dickson Construction Group (M&D), a leading diversified construction company, continues to build on a long and proud tradition of servicing the mining infrastructure market.
The stellar work that M&D is currently undertaking for Northam Platinum Limited (NPL), an independent, fully empowered, integrated platinum group metals (PGM) producer, is another sound example of the extent of the company’s skills and experience supplying world-class construction services to the mining industry. Notably, this is the second project that M&D is undertaking at NPL’s Zondereinde mine, an established, conventional, long-life operation which mines UG2 and Merensky ore.
Admixtures support water-saving by contractors
Intro: Responsible contractors have realised the growing strain on South Africa’s scarce water resources, and CHRYSO is supporting their conservation efforts with its water-reducing admixtures for concrete.
A recent example of this was in the construction of the Vlakfontein Reservoir near Standerton in the province of Mpumalanga. This is probably one of the largest cylindrical post-tensioned concrete reservoirs in the world, with an inner diameter of 154 metres and a heavily reinforced 11,8 metre high wall.
According to Patrick Flannigan, technical manager: concrete business unit at CHRYSO Southern Africa, the project made use of several CHRYSO® admixtures to reduce water and improve workability.
