In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries worldwide. According to Forbes’ AI Statistics And Trends, digital technologies, including AI, are projected to contribute significantly to the Australian economy, with estimates suggesting a value of $315 billion by 2028. In the industrial, mining and manufacturing sectors in particular, the emergence of AI and the utilisation of data are transforming how businesses operate at every level. From predictive maintenance to autonomous vehicles, the ability to handle massive data influxes and future-proof critical IT systems is now more important than ever. The resilience and scalability of underlying IT infrastructure is dependent upon specific components that accommodate the AI ecosystem. This includes data centres, cooling systems, and…

DALLCON has been manufacturing and supplying precast and custom concrete products to the civil, mining and agricultural industries throughout Australia since 2005. Recently the company completed a large custom precast concrete project for Roy Hill Mining, which marketing manager Manuelito Ofiaza said was a pleasure to be involved in, for such a short lead time project. “Everything had run very, very smoothly, and the client was extremely happy,” he said. “In conjunction with RCR Mining Technologies Dallcon successfully manufactured and supplied eight custom precast units to be used a footing/loader bump stop for integral steel loadout hopper. “The units sizes were 2360mm wide x 600mm thick base x 9000mm deep x 2850mm high, and weighed just under 50t each. “We…

RECONDITIONING a heavy diesel engine places a weighty burden of responsibility on the machine shop carrying out the work. Each component in these engines is expensive and must be stripped, cleaned and machined to exacting tolerances in order for the rebuilt engine to give many thousands more hours of trouble-free operation. In most instances, the downtime costs resulting from an engine failing in a large haul truck or excavator can approach the cost of the engine itself. So the stakes are high and only the most experienced and trusted engineering workshops earn the right to bring these iron behemoths back to life year after year. The Australian Mining Review recently visited R Moore and Sons Diesel Engineers, in Kewdale, WA.…

WHEN a single tyre has such a high dollar value, let alone considering safety factors and the cost of production downtime, it’s simple logic to use a preventative maintenance approach to managing tyre damage in a mining fleet. That’s why TyreDoctor, which has specialised in OTR (off-the-road) tyre repairs since 1986, put so much emphasis on the importance of a preventative maintenance tyre repair program for mining fleets. “Sure, we’ll repair a tyre once it’s failed – if it’s repairable,” TyreDoctor tyre repair division manager Harvey Hester said. “But in nine out of 10 instances once a mining tyre actually fails it’ll be damaged beyond repair. “That’s just a waste of an expensive tyre – whether it’s a 33-inch underground…

THE Australian mining industry is tough. It’s tough on the miners, tough on the equipment, and it’s tough on the machines that keep it running. These machines have to be heavy duty, reliable and precision-engineered to stand up to the testing conditions they are faced with every minute of operation time. This means sub-standard equipment simply doesn’t cut it. The best equipment is expensive – and rightly so. When the engine reaches the end of its service life, the cost of replacement can be daunting. Remanufacturing engines has always been the best option. Recycling the parts is good for the environment and, more importantly, it is very good for the hip pocket. Remanufacturing a worn out engine is a highly…

GOOD old customer service is a rarity these days but if the stellar rise of MHM Contracting is anything to go by, service is definitely not lost on their mining customers. The company started operations in April 2018 and has grown rapidly in that time. Its operation now has a head office in Applecross, WA, and workshops in both Port Hedland and Perth.
