The webinar, moderated by North American Mining magazine editor Donna Schmidt, will feature Weir Minerals Australia applications engineering business manager AARON SCHOT, who will discuss diverse problems dealing with mud, sludge and spoils in mining and how they can be transported safely and efficiently across sites continuously without impacting machinery – and while minimizing personnel involvement in that process for greater miner safety. Hear more about the Multiflo Mudflo solution, its history, and how the pump can be integral to an advanced sites’ dredging plans. About Aaron Schot:Aaron, business manager for Applications Engineering at Weir Minerals Australia, joined the company as a graduate engineer after completing a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) in 2014 at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Since then, Aaron has held multiple roles within Weir Minerals working primarily with the Multiflo product, specializing in formulating the engineering design of electric and diesel dewatering pumping solutions for both domestic (Australia) and international customers across the mining, municipal and agriculture industries. During his tenure with Weir Minerals, Aaron has also completed a significant amount of work developing and designing new fuel management systems within the Hydrau-Flo™ brand. About the moderator:Donna Schmidt, editor of North American Miningmagazine and the globally focused Miners News weekly e-newsletter and news editor for The ASIA Miner, has been a part of the trade press community for nearly 18 years and has hosted a number of webinars for mining suppliers and partners on a various topics including digitalization, automation and site efficiency, among others. Part of the editorial staff of SEMCO Publishing, which is also home to titles such as Rock Products, Concrete Products and Cement Products magazines, has directed editorial at both NAM and MinersNews.net since their respective inceptions in 2021.

A visit with 2016 American Concrete Pipe Association Chairman Bo Gossett III - Appointment to the American Concrete Pipe Association Executive Committee three years ago put A.C. “Bo” Gossett, III on track to become 2016 chairman, where he sees an opportunity to advance an industry of which his family has been a part for 70-plus years— and speak on behalf of what remains a critical membership component.

A visit with Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute 2016-2017 Chairman Matt Lynch - As producers saw paver demand pace double- digit gains last year, the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute launched new programs and initiatives—through committee channels and the ICPI Foundation for Education and Research—to ensure industry momentum carries into 2016 and beyond. A 2016-2019 strategic plan stresses ICPI’s role in industry growth and product quality, plus increasing acceptance of an expanding technical and educational resource offering.

Originally presented at Haulage & Loading 2013. This white paper explores proximity detection in the open pit mine being used effectively as an operator assist strategy which improves digging production through enforcement of best practices, although it is normally thought of first as a safety tool, and second as a step toward full automation when combined with object avoidance.

Originally presented at Haulage & Loading 2013. Too often, haul truck operator trainees don’t retain enough of the knowledge they learn during training. That can lead to longer on-boarding cycles, lower productivity and potential safety problems in the mine. Blended learning – providing training via multiple modalities using a highly structured, building-block approach – shows promise in addressing this challenge. This paper highlights insights gathered over a three-year period from mines in North America and provides examples of blended learning in action.

Learn about the misconceptions Americans have about energy, “fracking” and the natural gas and oil industry. Americans’ energy misconceptions can have a direct negative impact the industry and our country’s future. From the author of Just the Fracks Ma’am, the Truth about Hydrofracking and the Next Great American Boom. AUDIO ONLY.

Published by The Heartland Institute. Hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas production has dramatically increased the demand for industrial silica sand, known as “frac sand,” available in great abundance in the Upper Midwest. As new sand mines and processing facilities are proposed, the policymakers and citizens of counties with frac sand resources are being asked to evaluate the potential economic benefits and costs of industrial sand mining.

Published by The Heartland Institute. As many as 9,000 non-metallic mines operate in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin – approximately one mine for every 3,000 residents. Until recently, those mines have operated without opposition. But industrial sand mining recently has become a more contentious issue as environmental groups have taken note of the growing number of mines meeting the growing demand for the industrial silica sand used in oil and natural gas development, referred to as “frac sand.” In this Policy Study, the third in a series addressing frac sand mining topics, the authors specifically address the potential impacts of frac sand mining on public roadways.

Published by The Heartland Institute. The rate of silica sand mining in the United States has increased in recent years, due in large part to the tremendous growth in hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas using horizontal drilling techniques. Some environmental activist groups and community organizers contend silica sand mining presents significant threats to human health and the environment. Scientific evidence strongly refutes such claims.

Published by The Heartland Institute, This study considers the “social” impact of sand-mining operations, including their impact on land use, scenic beauty, and property values. Emotion and opinion, rather than technical facts and scientific data, tend to dominate the discussion.
