Cementation Africa guides mines safely to steady state production
Transitioning from development to steady state production remains one of the most challenging phases in a mine’s lifecycle. Whether it involves a greenfield project, expansion or conversion from opencast to underground, this stage typically includes shaft sinking, raise drilling and mine development, activities that carry significant technical and operational risks.
Underground mining contractor Cementation Africa’s specialist expertise in underground mining allows clients to navigate these early stages with confidence. With more than 50 years of experience, the company undertakes the full scope of development work, from shaft and decline establishment to ore reserve expansion and extraction. This capability is particularly valuable for mining companies lacking in-house training, infrastructure or resources to begin operations independently.
The company’s approach combines technical depth with robust management systems. Its services extend beyond mine development to include mine design, equipment rebuilds, maintenance programmes and comprehensive handover processes at the transition to steady state production. These systems encompass procurement, warehousing, equipment maintenance, payroll and safety management.
Cementation Africa’s experienced executives and managers draw on extensive operational knowledge to manage risk effectively, with safety forming the cornerstone of all activities. Every project detail is meticulously planned and documented, ensuring high standards of quality and integrity.
While embracing innovation, the company takes a measured approach to automation, prioritising safety. Advances such as remote-controlled equipment and digital systems for underground data transmission further enhance operational performance, reinforcing Cementation Africa’s role in enabling a safe and efficient progression to steady state production.
