Kwikspace to provide accommodation at new Namibian acid plant

Kwikspace Modular Buildings, in partnership with Pupkewitz Megatech, has been contracted to provide six office space units (54 sqm each in size) for the inception phase. This R2 million project has a turnaround time of only four weeks, with completion at the end of July 2013, and provides valuable space for key decision makers working at the mine. Kwikspace office units are loaded onto trucks from Cape Town and transported 2000 kilometre's to Tsumeb where they are offloaded and commissioned within three hours.

Flexibility and convenience

The smelter is one of only a few in the world which is able to treat arsenic and lead-bearing copper concentrates and is a major custom smelter with brown-fields expansion potential.

Comments Leon Du Plessis, Kwikspace regional sales manager Western Cape, "This project and the previous ones on the smelter, has showcased our ability and professionalism to partner with major industry role players. Kwikspace's quick turnaround time and quality of product and service has ensured that we are the partner of choice for the mining industry."

Kwikspace buildings are assembled using fully insulated polyurethane panels, which provide excellent temperature control and noise reduction, while also preventing the ingress of dust, water and insects.

Kwikspace's designs are modular, relocatable and can be built to suit exact needs ensuring flexibility and convenience. Their in-house logistics department manages loading, transport, materials management and siting to support timely project progress.
