Consulting civil and structural engineering firm Holley &
Associates, of Gauteng, has designed a large screening building for
an Mpumalanga coal-mine.
The 15-metre-high screening build-ing is part of a R33-million
crushing and screening plant that was designed and constructed by
Executive Technical Services (ETS).
Contracted by ETS, Holley & Associates was responsible for the
design of the structural steelwork for the primary and secondary
screening and india west bangel bribhum md bazar stone querrycrushing buildings, as well as steelwork for the
overland conveyor and transfer tower between the conveyor and
ground line.
“We have exteextraction of li metal from spodumene orensive experience in similar types of
installations, but this one was challenging because it was the
first its size,” says director David Haines.
Founded in soil brick making equipment india1991 by Donald Holley, the company has, in the last
decade, been offering its technical expertise to the min-ing and
metallurgical processing industries.

companies and mining companies.
Currently, the company is also work- ing with DRA on a project for
Klip-spruit Colliery, also in Mpumalanga.
Haines beliesand washing equipment priceves the South African market requires practical and
simple structural solutions that are suited to the capabilities of
its clients, and geared to the skills that are available
locally.
The company, which currently employs 18 people, including
direc-tors, is planning to increase its staff complement in the
near future in preparation for what Haines refers to as
“future developments in the mining industry”.
“We are also testing the water in some projects
abroad,” he adds.
He says South African engineering companies are highly saleable
inter-nationally, because of their technical abilities and
competitive pricing.
They are better-suited to the African environment by far as
compared to their European counterparts, Haines notes.
Holley & Associates has been involved in a number of projects
in Africa and abroad through South African principals, but not as
much as it would have liked, Haines adds.
The company has undertaken pro- jects in a number of countries,
in-cluding Australia, Canada, and Indon- esia.
