Mining Confidence - 32 Degrees below zero!
|
We
are delighted to report another success for AEI, this time it's Cable
from our specialist mining range.
In one of the Worlds
harshest environments, Europe's most northerly mine (Svea Nord) is
owned and operated by SNSG (Store Norske Spitsbergen Grubekompani).
Employing some 40 people
underground and 48 surface personnel, the mine has an expected life
of 25 years, during which time it is planned to mine a total of 32
million tonnes of coal.
To help achieve these targets, a new tunnel has been constructed through
the icy mountainous terrain which will both speed up production and
cut trucking costs down the glacier to ships at the harbour.
AEI will be supplying
7KM of Power Distribution Cable and lengths of Telephone and Signalling
cable for the new tunnel, plus Elastomeric Trailing Cables for the
Coal Face.
