SAIMM: Johannesburg Branch Webinar Event - Thursday 25 June 2020

Prolonging the life of aging mine infrastructure James Keir and Murray Macnab   Brief Description: Many mines in South Africa, especially in the gold structure, are reaching the end of their design life. In the current economic climate, it is not economical to develop a new shaft. Instead, existing shafts are being used for longer than originally intended. This can be done, however, just like humans require more medical attention as we grow older, mine shafts require more attention too.   Presenters: James Keir and Murray Macnab Date: 25 June 2020 Time: 17:00 Venue: Webinar - Online  Register Here About Presenters James Keir GROUP EXECUTIVE, ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SERVICES James joined the UMS Group in August 2018 as senior manager Technical Services for METS.
