Solution Case Study: Glencore and Konnect Partner to Deliver Efficient Mechanical Anchor

Customer:

Glencore – Mount Isa Mines

 

Project Used:

Mechanical Anchor – Undergrounding Mining

 

Product Solution used:

Konnect Rock Bolt Pin

 

Background:

Glencore – Mount Isa Mine Site required a fastener to replace an unexpectantly discontined product from an alternate supplier.


Customer/ Project Problem:

Glencore – Mount Isa Mines approached Konnect to supply a Pin. They had already tried to source this product through alternate suppliers, however were unable to find an alternate product that exactly met their requirements.

 

Solution Provided:

Konnect worked with Glencore to meet all specifications for this application and went above and beyond to help minimise costs and downtime.

Together we produced two different prototypes for testing and worked on feedback from the Mount Isa Mines end users.

 

Outcome:

Konnect Mount Isa was able to provide a viable alternative to a discontinued product, and continue to supply this ongoing.

In addition, this has been successfully rolled out to another local mine site.

 

Customer Testimonial:

“At George Fisher Mine there was a need to find a replacement fastener for a previously supplied product that had unexpectedly been discontinued. Konnect Fastening Systems came to the rescue with a substitute product; the Konnect Rockbolt Pin. The new product was trialled and tested over a 3-month period with positive results. Due to its efficient mechanical anchor design and galvanised coating, the new Konnect Rockbolt pins are being used for a wide range of applications in our underground mining environment such as formwork and light duty hanging points.”
