Technogrid Industry Examples

Technogrids have a proven operational track record and are installed worle-wide to:

  • Prevent run-away rolling stock from falling down a vertical mine shaft
    • Over 200 station stopper (120 and 300kJ installations)
  • Arrest conveyances in over run conditions in mine headframes
    • Technogrid systems have an impact energy absorption capacity of greater that 10,000 kJ
  • Arrest run away ship loaders
    • Technogrids successfully arrested a run-away ship loader in 2009, with no resultant damage to the ship loader and surrounding structures - saving the owner considerable expense
    • The Technogrid system's elongation was within 200mm of the theoretical predictions

  • Arrest the fall of gravity tension take-up counterweights after a conveyor belt failure:
    • Preventing damage to the counterweight and infrastructure, greatly minimizing downtime, and enhancing safety levels
    • Technogrids have successfully operated in this application on a number of occasions in different parts of the world

 

  • Absorb the energy of hydrogen explosions from granulation tanks
