Fast deployment of full turnkey solution

B2Gold in Namibia needed to ramp up their workshop facilities. Fast.?

They realised that a conventional drum lube storage solution would just not work for them. It would not have the capacity nor the replenishment velocity to cope with the demand as the mine ramped up its production cycles.?

They turned to Siyathembana to design and build self bunded lube tank storage for their new workshops and maintenance areas. The facilities needed to be designed with end of line dispensing included and filtration included. It also needed to cope with the 8 grades of lube that they needed in the highly abrasive open pit environment of the Namibian landscape where they mined.?

The team created a tank farm for them that exceeded expectations and solved all their challenges with regard to hose reel access, flow rates, end of line filtration, tank gauging, delivery monitoring and included delivery and project management of the entire process. Siyathembana will respond to your needs in detail bye understanding your production and maintenance requirements completely, your lube supplier’s delivery rotation cycles and their ability to replenish on a realistic basis to your demands.?

For B2Gold at Otjikoto in Namibia they had an uncompromising approach to a complete offering from a single supplier. This is why they used Siyathembana for their lube and LDV bay fuel and lube storage needs. Quick and hassle free site preparation, compliant but low cost environmental process and the ability to expand on the capacity with ease. The mine also took into consideration that with the new open pit operation ramping up their diesel needs would likely become more demanding too as the pit grows and moves with each production cycle.

Low cost remains the holy grail for all mining operations as the cost of power generation climbs steeply in a Post Covid world. Siyathembana are proud to be associated with a true leader in the field of low cost gold production.?
