Boliden Delays Odda Ramp Up During the past three years, Boliden has carried out a series of investments at its Odda zinc smelter in Norway with the aim of increasing the annual production volume from 200,000 to 350,000 metric tons (mt). The company recently reported that several of these investments are now largely completed, but they have experienced delays with the roasting facility. This means that the ramp-up toward the new production level will start at the end of Q1 2025. The delay has also created a cost overrun of EUR100 million ($111 million). https://lnkd.in/e8PmkMh6

Since 2020, six miners have died and 61 injured by underground mobile equipment. One is too many. At IWT, we are doing something about it.

It functions uninterrupted through obstructions such as curtains and metal, is impervious to tampering, and delivers precise location of personnel. The system automatically adjusts based on vehicle speed and direction of travel. When personnel are detected, it slows and stops the vehicle without the need for driver input.
