via vertical integration – taking the process right from instruments up to platform level. He highlights that the inter-operability of leading technologies such as Booyco Electronics’ collision avoidance systems is the optimal way to achieve the ‘mine of future’. This allows mines to take up the best technologies available and ensure they work together on their on-site platforms. “Technology providers like Booyco and Ramjack have the advantage of learning from the experience of many mines – not just one,” he says. “This gives our customers significant added value, as they can benefit from the learnings that have taken place elsewhere, without bearing the cost of developing that experience on their own.” The two companies have already collaborated informally on a significant deep-level gold mining project in South Africa and are excited by the prospects that this work has opened up. Lourens notes that mines globally are moving towards the Level 9 requirements outlined by the Earth Moving Equipment Safety Round Table (EMESRT), even though relatively few countries to date have made it compulsory through national legislation. across both categories compared to those from other leading suppliers adds to the comfort provided by the fabric’s breathable properties and good moisture management, ensuring the wearer can still feel cool and dry while benefiting from the inherent FR protection. The LENZING blended materials contain both hydrophilic (water absorbing) and hydrophobic (water resistant) fibres to create an evaporative cooling effect. This allows wearers in different industries and exposed to different arc hazard levels to benefit from the balance of inherent protection, durability and comfort.
