Conveyors in Secunda

Secunda is the home of Sasol's Secunda complex, the world's largest coal-to-liquids plant, built around a huge coal supply from neighbouring collieries delivered by very long overland conveyors. The plant, its coal yards and the surrounding collieries form one of the most intensive conveyor operations in the country, with continuous production and a high demand for steel-cord and fabric belting, idlers, pulleys and cleaners. Bethal and Trichardt add maize and potato farming, and the old Evander gold field lies nearby. Winters are cold and frosty, summers are wet. Local contractors work on long-term maintenance contracts and permanent shutdown teams.

Typical conveyor belt splicing requests in the area come from:

Coal mines and power stations: splicing crews join fire-resistant and surface belts, with strict isolation and hot-work controls underground
Cement, steel and process plants: hot and cold splices on belts in cement, steel, paper and recycling plants
Gold mines and retreatment plants: splicing on shaft and retreatment conveyors, where fast turnaround limits lost production
Grain silos, sugar mills and packhouses: splices on grain, sugar and fertiliser belts, timed before harvest and crushing seasons
Warehouses and distribution centres: finger and mechanical splices on parcel sorters and baggage belts, done in short night shutdowns
Quarries and sand mines: emergency hot and cold splices on conveyors cut by sharp aggregate

Frequently asked questions

What will the job cost in Secunda?

It depends on the belt and conveyor, the work involved, the crew and hours on site, consumables and travel. Send the form with the belt specification and a short description of the job and a splicing contractor working in Secunda will quote you.

Can a crew come out for a breakdown in Secunda?

Do contractors meet mine and plant safety requirements?

Contractors who work on mines and plants are used to site inductions, medical certificates, risk assessments and lock-out procedures. List your site's requirements in the request so they can be priced and arranged in advance.
