Expertise in excavating vertical raises
Utilizing both Alimak and Raise Boring, we ensure you meet your goals by delivering unparalleled results. Our core focus is delivering excellence while providing technical expertise to ensure the project is completed safely and on-time.
ALIMAK RAISE EXCAVATION
Raise development using a Mechanized Raise Climber (Alimak) is a preferred method for developing escape ways, ventilation raises, ore/waste passes, and slot raises in underground mines.
Trans Africa Container is a world leader in raise development, recognized for our high safety standards in underground mining.
HOW IT WORKS
Drilling, loading and blasting are all performed from the platform of the Alimak, which is adapted to fit the precise dimensions and shape of the raise. The raise miners remain under the safety of our unique two-post canopy system that was developed in order to ensure protection while working on the platform. The Alimak unit implements a rack and pinion rail, designed to carry air and water to the work face.
Vertical Expertise That Improves Your Bottom Line
In mine development and expansion, vertical raises are crucial for egress routes, ventilation, hauling, and ore access. Our expertise with Raise Boring and Alimak raises ensures safe, effective, and timely results for a variety of outcomes.
Raise boring is a continuous, mechanical method of excavating vertical or near-vertical holes between two levels of an underground mine, and is widely considered a safer, faster and more cost-effective way of excavating raises than more traditional drilling and blasting methods.
