Mining partnership provides a turn-key construction and operating solution

This partnership provides a single role-player taking responsibility for an entire project, while all specialist skills-sets (from design through to construction and operation) provided by Redpath Mining (South Africa) and Stefanutti Stocks, can be fully utilised. This single point of contact simplifies the client interface and streamlines the project management process with the potential to be more cost-effective.

Redpath Mining’s service offering includes shaft sinking, mine development, contract mining, raiseboring, underground construction, engineering and technical services, as well as speciality services focusing on underground infrastructure.

While Stefanutti Stocks’ construction capabilities encompass all aspects of above-ground mining infrastructure construction including earthworks, civil construction, buildings, water treatment plants, pipelines, SMEIP (structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and piping) and concrete rehabilitation. Its services to the sector also include contract mining, material handling and tailings management.

“We are excited to be part of this alliance, as this has the potential to be a great asset to the Southern African mining industry, and we are looking forward to putting our combined forces into play,” says Willie Meyburgh, Stefanutti Stocks chief executive officer.

“Redpath Mining has long recognised the benefits of building relationships with organisations whose innovative approach and unique perspectives expand upon our own. The shared vision between Redpath Mining and Stefanutti Stocks has resulted in a strategic mining alliance that will grow from strength to strength,” says Ockert Douglas, Redpath Mining (South Africa) managing director.
