Styldrift Royal Bafokeng Platinum, Head Gear Project
LOCATION: Pilanesburg - South Africa
EQUIPMENT USED: CC2800-1; AC650; LTM140
Precautions were required to operate at
heights of approximately 85m because of the close proximity to the
Pilanesburg airport. Both headgears were pre-assembled (31 lifts)
on the ground prior to being erected. The main headgear centre
tower comprised of three distinct modules and the services shaft of
four modules. The total weight of the two headgears amounts to an
estimated 1.200t.
"The work was performed by 15 people to an exceptionally high
standard from a planning and execution perspective. Above all, the
safety standards were commendable" says Royal Bafokeng Platinum
senior project manager, Tom Sertic.
