Formulating a clear strategic vision to achieve self-sufficiency and align with construction projects in the coming years. (Source: Ministry of Industry and Minerals)

Over the past few months, we’ve been discussing and sharing the enhanced benefits of rolling dynamic compaction (RDC) compared to conventional compaction methods. And today, we’re going to be looking at some of these uses and applications with real-world examples.   So where might you use or find RDC being applied?   ✅ Residential subdivisions ✅ Civil & mining infrastructure projects ✅ Industrial & commercial environments ✅ Container terminals ✅ Airport developments ✅ Land reclamation   And a typical application?   ✅ Deep in-situ compaction ✅ Proof rolling ✅ Treatment of materials with a high collapse potential ✅ Compaction of landfills ✅ Compaction of rockfill ✅ Treatment of dry materials ✅ Rehabilitation of quarries and mines ✅ And so many more!   In fact, when it comes to landfills, which have the potential to become hazardous if not compacted in a safe and appropriate manner, RDC definitively reduces the risk of creep settlement and ongoing maintenance costs as it allows compaction without the need to unearth or disturb what’s underneath.   This is just a brief snapshot of the many different benefits RDC can offer when it comes to impact compaction.   For more on RDC, hit follow on this page.   #BroonsImpactRollers #Compaction #ImpactCompaction #RDC #GroundImprovement

Wesfarmers Curragh contracted Infracorr Consulting to address a critical infrastructure challenge at their Queensland mine. The Coal Thickener Tank, vital for operations, suffered from significant reinforcement corrosion and concrete spalling, demanding a comprehensive rehabilitation project. Our key objectives included extending the tank's lifespan by 30 years, minimizing operational downtime during repairs, and implementing a cost-effective, long-term corrosion prevention solution. We employed advanced hydro-demolition and dry-process gunite techniques for swift concrete repairs. An innovative hybrid cathodic protection system with over 9,000 strategically placed anodes was installed without disrupting operations. The project culminated in the successful repair and recommissioning of the tank within the designated shutdown period, minimizing disruption to Wesfarmers' operations. The repair works were undertaken by Freyssinet Australia and Marine & Civil Maintenance (MCM) joint venture.

Did you know… King Price’s engineering division has recalibrated to meet the needs of smaller construction contractors and project owners. It has implemented a ‘back to basics’ approach that empowers these businesses to tailor insurance policies that address their unique risk profiles. Because we know it’s tough out there. Because we’ll always look out for the ‘small guys’. Because we care about you and your business, no matter what you build, make, provide, or do. However, this doesn’t mean that we don’t still see the bigger picture. George Parrott, who heads up engineering for us, chatted recently with Engineering and Mining Africa Magazine about the possible impacts that cheap cement imports will have on the industry and the economy over the medium term. And, despite never having given it a moment’s thought before now, I found it really interesting to see the potential that these imports have to kick-start growth in the smaller infrastructure sector by promoting accessibility and affordability. Projects that were previously stalled due to financial constraints or deemed financially unfeasible can now move forward, contributing to job creation, national development, and economic stimulation. However, the flip side is there will likely be job and GDP losses as the local cement manufacturing industry is impacted over time.
