“Our team was finally able to mobilise in February this year and completed the scope of work within a month, returning in mid-March,” reports Marketing Manager Mike Zinn. The team comprised traditional rope access in addition to a welder to carry out inspection, maintenance, and minor repairs on various structures at the gold mine.
“We have a long association with Syama, and this was yet another successful project that received good feedback from the client,” says Zinn. Skyriders’ association with the project commenced with regular inspection and maintenance work on the roaster smokestack in 2008.
When this smokestack was eventually decommissioned, Skyriders was again called upon to assist to build a new Greenfield smokestack. The current project involved inspection of the new smokestack, including the internal and external electrostatic precipitators.
“Rope access is an ideal solution for a remote mine like this, especially due to the constraints imposed by Covid-19. We can mobilise quickly and get the work done as fast and effectively as possible, giving the client peace of mind that production is not disrupted and their bottom line impacted,” says Zinn.
He describes Syama as a flagship mining project for Skyriders in West Africa that showcases not only the innovation, experience, and technology offered by South African companies, but also that it is more cost-effective to utilise local expertise due to exchange-rate fluctuations.
“Mining houses can rest assured that service providers such as Skyriders not only adhere to all international health and safety regulations and standards, but that we understand the African market and operating conditions and are comfortable to work anywhere on the continent,” concludes Zinn.
