Hexagon’s Mining division has recently announced the completion of a significant safety installation with Gold Fields Ghana. More than 220 mine vehicles were equipped with Hexagon’s MineProtect Collision Avoidance System (CAS) at Gold Fields’ Tarkwa Mine in Ghana’s Western Region.
MineProtect’s Operator Alertness System, Personal Alert and Tracking Radar were also installed with minimal delays, despite pandemic lockdowns preventing travel by Hexagon’s South Africa staff into Ghana. Local partners and technology, such as remote body cameras, helped ensure that installation and training stayed on schedule.
Andrew Crose, Vice President, Autonomous, Hexagon’s Mining division, said: “Tarkwa staff’s willingness to adapt to the limitations imposed by COVID-19 was hugely important.”
