Purpose-Built for Small Section Drilling

In the transition to mechanized and intelligent mining, small and medium-sized mines are usually limited by the size of the "small" section, which cannot be operated with the equipment. Instead, manual drilling has been commonly used in the past decades, resulting in slow excavation efficiency and high risks of safety.

In view of the pain point of this industry, Uniroc has launched the smallest cross section face drill rig -- WD561 in China. It is built for blast hole drilling and anchor bolt hole drilling in underground mining, pumped storage power stations, hydropower stations, covering cross sections from 4m² to 21m².

As a face drill rig specially designed for small sections, WD561 has a compact size with 1.3 m width and 1.6m height and can be used for the minimum working section of 1.9m×1.9m. To guarantee the efficiency of rock drilling, WD561 is equipped with an 18kW rock drill. The single hole drilling speed is up to 2.5 meters per minute, with a single cycle footage of 3.2m-3.4m. The manual excavation footage of a single working area is 100-120m/month only but the use of a face drill rig can reach 220m/month.

The operators could be far away from the working area and their safety is guaranteed. Remote control operation is simple and easy to learn. It takes only two weeks for operators to be trained in our company, and greatly reducing the dependence on their experiences.

Composites, also referred to as fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), represent an innovative category of materials that have revolutionized various industries.  Composites consist of two primary components: reinforcing fibers and a matrix or resin. While these components individually have limited utility, when combined, they create a powerful and versatile material with numerous advantages.

What are composites made of?

While the role of the fibers is to add primary strength and load-bearing capabilities to the composite, the matrix or resin is the material that surrounds and binds the reinforcing fibers together. In today’s industrial composites the two most commonly-found reinforcements used to make composites are glass fiber and carbon fiber while the major types of resin include polyester, vinyl ester, polyurethane and epoxy. On their own, these materials only provide limited use, however when the fibers and resins are cured into a composite during the manufacturing process in a heated dye, many useful advantages are gained.

Because of these advantages composites are used in many applications in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, wind energy, infrastructure, oil and gas, defense, and telecommunication industry among many more.

Advantages of composites

Composites provide many advantages from customizability to weight savings and long-life attributes compared to other materials like steel and aluminum. Composites are very durable materials resistant to harsh environments. Composites offer long-lasting resistance to acidic, salty, or alkaline conditions. This makes them exceptionally suitable for water treatment facilities, downhole oil & gas applications, or even use at the seashore.

Composites also boast a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. Their stiffness properties surpass those of plastics and other non-metallic counterparts, rendering them ideal for applications demanding structural integrity. Moreover, composites, featuring materials like fiberglass, are insulators, effectively preventing the conduction of heat or cold. This thermal efficiency proves advantageous in applications such as window and door frames, promoting energy conservation.

In addition to their physical attributes, composite design offers a unique advantage: the ability to seamlessly integrate multiple functions into a single profile. This versatility stems from the flexibility in choosing fibers, matting, and resin systems, enabling composites to address a diverse array of challenges and specifications across various industries.

Continuous manufacturing technologies for composites

Composites can be manufactured using various methods, but continuous manufacturing technologies like pultrusion and pull-winding come with additional benefits. In continuous manufacturing, the fibers, matrix materials and resins are continuously fed into a production line to create a composite profile that is cut to the desired lengths or shapes at the end of the process. The continuous process results in several advantages such as efficiency, consistent quality, and high throughput.

Exel Composites is one of the few global companies specializing in continuous manufacturing technologies for composites. Exel has over 60 years’ experience in solving challenges and helping customers save resources with composites in a wide range of industries around the world. You can find Exel’s products used in applications from wind power and transportation to building and infrastructure.

Taganito Mining Corporation is a subsidiary of Nickel Asia Corporation operating in Claver, Surigao del Norte.

The mantra of Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation (THPAL) in its pursuit to protect and manage the areas around it is "adding value to the environment," as evidenced by its strict implementation of air, noise, and water quality monitoring.

The company has successfully implemented an Integrated Farming System, which could be considered a best practice in the industry and can be replicated in assisted communities, thereby aiding the host municipality in addressing its food security concerns.

THPAL was able to plant 118,295 trees in 28.59 hectares within and outside the plant site from July 2022 to June 2023. Of these, 104,461 were donated to different agencies in support of their environmental initiatives, and 153,149 seedlings were produced from its own nursery and made available to all stakeholders, who are actively participating in the reforestation activities.

All these initiatives are supported by the company's approved Environmental Protection and Enhancement Program and are in accordance with the company's approved Final Plant Rehabilitation and/or Decommissioning Plan.

The company spent a total of Php 2,566,761,016.84, or 111% of its total allocated budget for the fiscal year July 2022 to June 2023.

Different environmental activities and initiatives are done through the MEPEO Section of Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation to ensure and continuously uplift its mantra. 

Last June 2023, the MEPEO section, in partnership with the COMREL Department, had its simultaneous activities for the whole month of June in celebration of Environment Month.

The Kick-Off Ceremony was conducted last June 5, 2023, with a motorcade across the entire barangay in the municipality of Claver, and fruit-bearing trees were distributed during the parade to encourage the residents to take part in being the bearers of positive change. 

Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation has demonstrated its commitment to environmental protection and preservation by adopting the National Greening Program and entering into an agreement with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Project TRANSFORM (Transdisciplinary Approach for Resilience and Environmental Sustainability through Multistakeholder Engagement).  

THPAL has 53 hectares of vegetation in Pili, Malimono, Surigao del Norte. The company provides seedlings to be planted in support of the government's priority program, which aims to reduce poverty and promote food security, and environmental stability. As a result, it is more than just a reforestation effort; it is part of a larger program aimed at achieving other important national goals as well.

The Environment Management Bureau (EMB), the Hayanggabon Local Government Unit, and Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation came together and signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the Adopt Hayanggabon River project.

The primary goal of the project is to clean, restore, and protect the river, which includes programs and activities such as river clean-up and collecting, sorting, and disposing of solid waste along the river. The company purchased a Water Master designed specifically for mechanical dredging operations. The riparian vegetation was improved by planting endemic species along the riverbanks to stabilize and prevent further erosion.

The Adopt Hayanggabon River initiative does not end with the completion of its physical transformation. THPAL continuously and closely monitors this program through the MEPEO section. Furthermore, water quality is monitored on a regular basis to ensure that it meets DENR standards.

As we consume the earth's irreplaceable bounty for today's needs, we must also rehabilitate and preserve the environment in order to create a safe and sustainable community. THPAL has established integrated efforts and implemented programs to achieve all of these goals over the years.
