Engineers now have access to the ultimate design tool capability, through the integrations of SKF’s Bearing Module calculation service into the analysis software of SMT, a leader in mechanical and electromechanical transmission engineering services. By combining SKF and SMT’s technical analysis and optimisation capabilities, engineers can now have a seamless experience when designing transmission systems. The SMT MASTA software helps engineers to accurately and rapidly design and predict performance characteristics. It also helps them to identify potential failure modes and undertake full-system (including time-domain MBD) simulations for any gearbox layout. The combined software allows bearings to be assessed within the context of full system level models. It also includes SKF bearing data for thousands of the company’s bearings, alongside ISO 281 and ISO 16281 results. SKF rating life safety factors and reliability are displayed for individual load cases as well as combined for du

Atlas Copco has engineered cutting-edge design and technology into its compact and highly cost-effective HiLight LED light tower range to bring a perfect combination of high performance, optimum efficiency and low operational costs for lowest total costs of ownership. Atlas Copco’s HiLight range of LED light towers comprises the B5+, V3+ , H4, and the H5+ (flagship) units as well as the more recent Z3+ battery operated unit. These flexible and economic lighting solutions meet a diverse range of applications in the construction, roadworks, mining, quarrying and public events sectors. When industries have to extend their working hours to meet deadlines, they require reliable lighting systems to ensure operational uptime. When working after dark on for example construction, quarry or industrial sites or at outdoor events in both rural and urban areas, it is essential to have the best possible lighting to ensure task accuracy, improved working conditions and enhanced worker safety.

Almost every mine today makes use of some kind of operations control centre, commonly taking the shape of control rooms, making it possible to remotely monitor; measure and control operations. In keeping with the increasing level of mechanization and automation of mines – presenting a myriad of safety and logistical challenges through the interaction of man and heavy machinery - the importance of control rooms in providing situational awareness and as the hub of operations management has proportionally increased. Indeed, one can be bold enough to conclude that without appropriately designed control rooms, safe high-speed mechanized mining would neither be practical nor commercially viable. This article provides a glance into some best practice in control room construction, equipping and processes. Control rooms collect, analyse and relay information necessary to monitor, measure and report performance, and control processes in mining operations. In the most modest form, a control “ro

As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in South Africa and across the globe, so does the social stigma attached to it. The perceived notion, for example, is that the virus only affects people of ethnic backgrounds, leading to unjustifiable discrimination by their peers. Yet, one company has risen to the challenge of de-stigmatising the labels placed on these minorities. Exxaro, a true champion of African growth and inclusivity, has announced the launch of their De-stigmatisation Campaign which aims to create awareness, debunk myths, and alleviate fears around COVID-19. Indeed, a lot of misinformation is being spread on the internet – something Exxaro hopes their De-stigmatisation Campaign will address. “It’s easy to point fingers, but that’s not how this virus chooses its victims,” remarked Mzila Mthenjane when asked for further details on the campaign. “[This campaign] seeks to educate not only our people but the greater country on the nature of COVID-19.” Mthenjane co

The wind farm sets the country closer to its goal of 100 percent renewable energy generation by 2030. #MakeEnergyWork is the official theme of the 2019 Africa Oil & Power Conference and Exhibition Kenya has launched Africa’s largest wind farm project in a bid to boost the country’s power generation capacity and reach its goal of 100 percent renewable energy generation by 2030. Set to contribute 310MW to the national grid, the $680 million privately-funded Lake Turkana Wind Power project will increase the country’s power supply by approximately 13 percent, reducing the country’s reliance on thermal generated electricity. During the inauguration ceremony on Friday, President Uhuru Kenyatta said the launch of the project was a ‘monumental feat’ showcasing the country’s commitment to pursue clean sources of energy and lower greenhouse gas emissions. “Kenya is without a doubt on course to being a global leader in renewable energy,” he said, adding that the country has “again rai

Companies working remotely during the nationwide lockdown will need to place a huge amount of faith in their employees’ abilities to deliver on their mandates. While Service-Level Agreements and Key Performance Indicators may contractually bind employees to their targets, it’s a particular type of leadership that will supplicate the best out of the organization and its staff, says Arnoux Maré, MD of Innovative Staffing Solutions. “During times of crisis, such as the one we are currently facing, leaders have to be bold and decisive if they want to weather the storm. However, if they wish to keep their employees motivated and on course, they need to embody a kind of leadership that exudes humility. Often leaders who have a high success rate, are those that lead with humility,” explains Maré. He says that humility should not be confused with low self-esteem or meekness. Humility also known as servant leadership, is a mindset that allows you, by choosing to think less about yourse

How will the soon-to-be-implemented Employment Equity Amendment Bill affect your business? Bill now before Parliament; includes requirements for employee training and compliance certificates for government tenders By Triple E Training JOHANNESBURG – March 05, 2020 – South Africa is facing a double dilemma right now in terms of unemployment and skills. Firstly, we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the world, but secondly, we also rank poorly in terms of skills. The net effect is that despite this high unemployment level, companies still battle to find skilled workers. In mid-February, Cabinet gave the Employment Equity Amendment Bill of 2020 the green light for submission to Parliament. This is a crucial bill that seeks to strengthen the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (the Act) and support efforts to eradicate the legacies of apartheid discrimination, as well as inequality in the workplace. When it becomes law, most likely in mid-2020, it will bring far-reaching consequ

Since the Makole Group’s Black Royalty Minerals was announced as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of Koornfontein coal mine in late October 2019, it has been inundated with numerous interdicts and court applications to disrupt or halt the sale process. Lurco Group, Charles King SA and Westdawn Investments approached the South Gauteng High Court on an urgent basis in order to interdict Koornfontein Mines’ Business Rescue Practitioners from transferring the mine to Black Royalty Minerals. These interdicts were argued in front of Judge Matojane on 27 January 2020. Judgment was passed on 28 January 2020 with Judge Matojane dismissing all three interdict applications with costs. Makole Group’s Chairman Ndavhe Mareda said that Black Royalty Minerals is relieved that the court cases have been finalised and legal certainty prevailed. He said the Business Rescue Practitioners can now be left to continue with their work of transferring the mine in terms of the approved business rescue
