Raiseboring Solutions
SINCE 1990, Mancala Pty Ltd has provided a wide range of unique services and expertise to Australia’s mineral and civil construction industries.
Mancala has worked on numerous projects over the years across Australia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, New Zealand, Indonesia, Botswana and Vietnam, for a variety of gold, coal, and base metal mines, hydro power sites and other projects where safe, innovative, cost- effective solutions are required.
Specialising in design, engineering, construction, excavation and mining services, Mancala provides unique solutions for shaft construction and ancillary services, which have earned the company business from industry giants like BHP Billiton, Glencore, Barrick (Niugini) Ltd, Anglo- coal, Newmont, Newcrest and many others.
Mancala’s success has been founded upon providing clients innovative solutions to complex problems which, at the foremost, deliver safe and cost competitive results.
Continuing innovation has recently resulted in the development of a highly automated, robotic fibrecrete shaft lining system.
The shaft liner can apply precise quantities of fibrecrete in shafts from 2.5m to 8m in diameter to depths of 400m and at inclinations up to 35 degrees from vertical.
The system can be established at a shaft collar, either underground or on surface in a single day and can apply fibrecrete at a rate of 4m3 per hour.
A Citect control system allows precise application control with the required thickness and shaft diameter as an input control element.
Minimal re-bound and a superior sprayed liner is the result.
Four onboard cameras allow pre and post lining inspections for quality control purposes.
Safety is inherent in the design with the use of automated hose reals failsafe winches, which totally remove the need for manual handling.
For all shaft lining requirements, whether fibrecrete, concrete or steel, contact the specialist – Mancala.
