Sebuku Coal Mine and Used Mining Equipment for Sale

In the province of South Kalimantan, Indonesia, on the tiny and remote island of Sebuku, there is the Sebuku coal mine which is an open cut truck and shovel coal-mining operation where you would see excavators, loaders and dump trucks which you would wish that they are used mining equipment for sale. It is owned and operated by the Straits Resources Singapore-listed subsidiary Straits Asia Resources.

Before the mine developed, the population had absolutely no infrastructure serving its 4,000 or so residents. It now has local access roads, a new portsite on the southern end of the island as well as an airfield. The construction of site infrastructure started in July 1997 with waste stripping for the construction of dams, bunds and the run of mine (ROM) stockpile area and coal mining commencing in December 1997.

Annual production is currently 3mtpa and around 700 people are employed by the operation.

The Fehmarn Bridge and New and Used Construction Equipment

This lengthy 19 kilometer (12 mi) long bridge will connect the German island of Fehmarn to the Lolland Danish island across the Fehmarn Strait located in the western Baltic Sea.

Both new and used construction equipment such barges, cranes for the superstructure and excavators, loaders, dozers, dump trucks, graders, rollers, compactors, generators for the abutments will prove valuable to the building of this bridge.

Denmark and Germany signed up for this construction of a road and rail bridge by 2018 worth $8.1 billion (€5.6 billion).

The bridge will replace the ferry and air traffic between the two countries reducing the cost of transport. Sea traffic will be possible underneath the bridge as the vertical clearance will be of 65 m (213 ft).

The design is a cable-stayed bridge with three 724 metres (2,375 ft) long spans, and four pillars about 280 metres (919 ft) tall. It will allow four road lanes and two rail tracks.

Comparable to the Øresund Bridge, the Great Belt Bridge or plans for the Strait of Messina Bridge, this will be the largest planned infrastructure project in Northern Europe. The route is the main connection between Hamburg, (Hamburg Metropolitan Region), and Copenhagen / Malmö, (Øresund Region); (in German: Vogelfluglinie, in Danish: fugleflugtslinjen) as well as further destinations in Scandinavia.

From the total $8.1 billion (€5.6 billion), Denmark will pay €4.8 billion. Germany will only have to pay for the connection between the bridge and its existing transport infrastructure. Denmark expects to be reimbursed for its expenses through user tolls as Denmark will be transformed into a transit country for neighbouring (Norway and Sweden) exports to Germany.

The Dystopian Farm Planned Design and Construction and Heavy Equipment for Sale

So here's another proposed structure that will attract suppliers of gas-guzzling heavy equipment for sale.

Visit our Website for more information on used mining and construction heavy equipment for sale.

The Dystopian Farm designed by Eric Vergne was one of the finalists in the Evolo Skyscraper Competition and introduces a sustainable vertical farm for the people of New York City.

The design uses the idea of providing city residents with a sustainable food source in a building, integrating producers and consumers.

The biomorphic building is modeled after plant cells of ferns and provides space for farms, residential areas and markets. Airoponic watering, nutrient technology and controlled lighting are all a part of the design.

Construction equipment will soon again be crossing the London Bridge to build 3 more towers from the same developer of the Shard of Glass

Irvine Sellar, the developer behind London's skyscraper the Shard of Glass has commissioned Beijing Bird's Nest architects Herzog and de Meuron to design 3 more towers rising 100, 200 and 250m high. Construction equipment will soon again be crossing the London Bridge to build the 3 towers. The towers are planned for a site near the Shard at London Bridge Station and will stand just south of City Hall.

For more information on construction equipment, visit MSloane Consulting and the video: Construction Equipment.

Planning is expected to take within two months and construction should take seven years according to an Irvine Sellar engineer.

Mining Equipment: The Tritton Copper Mine

The Tritton underground ore deposit in Australia was found after the drilling of a geophysical anomaly. Mining of the orebody started in 2004 using excavators, loaders, and other mining equipment. Stope production began in March 2005.

For more information on mining equipment, visit this Website: MSloane Consulting. Or view some videos of mining equipment.

Development of the new declines to access the ore started late 2007 and are scheduled to commence production of copper ore in late 2008. A strategic evaluation of the copper mining operations at Tritton during the first part of 2008 resulted in switching to another contractor. This change as well as low grade slopes and congestion resulted in a reduction of underground production levels through late March and April of 2008.

Straits projected that the expansion and new contractor will effect mine production of around 27,000 tonnes of copper in 2009 towards an average annual production of 35,000 tonnes for 10 more years.

Comprising a folded sequence of lower green schist facies, pelitic schists, mafic schists, shales, greywackes and with quartzites dipping shallowly towards the east, the principal minerals throughout the Tritton orebody are pyrite, chalcopyrite and quartz. Bornite is also present in the upper level of the orebody where some accessory tetrahedrite, digenite and chalcocite have also been observed mineralogically.

As of 2008, combing the Tritton Underground, Murrawombie and Tritton North Mines, Straits Resources reported proven reserves of 1,900kt with 5,800 in probable reserves.

Owned 100% by Straits Resources, the Tritton copper mine is located west-north-west of the town Nyngan, in central New South Wales, Australia. Mining within the Tritton areas commenced in 1992 at the Murrawombie open pit as part of the Girilambone copper mine and involved the mining of several copper oxide ore deposits using SX/EW processing. Open pit mining at Girilambone terminated in 1999, although copper production continued for two years. Australian miner Straits Resources in 2002 bought a huge stake in the mine, and eventually buying the minorities in Tritton Resources reaching full ownership in 2005.

The American Commerce Centre Tower in Philadelphia and Used Construction Equipment

Developers behind the American Commerce Centre in Philadelphia are going forward with plans to build the 460m skyscraper in the US city this year, despite the global financial crisis. Sources say that contractors would employ some high-quality, used construction equipment to help cushion expenses for the developers.

The skyscraper which would be one of the highest skyscrapers in the world would employ thousands of construction workers and boost jobs when it opens sometime in 2012.

The developers and local politicians worked on changes to their zoning code to make room for the 63-storey tower as council officials state that funding for the project is set on track.

Mining Equipment Requirements for BHP Billiton's Cerro Matoso Nickel Mine's Capacity to Double Over the Next Ten Years

BHP has identified areas to grow the Cerro Matoso nickel significantly, notably building a 3rd and 4th processing line and a low-cost leaching operation where they also see a growth in demand for mining equipment. Pending board approval, BHP envisages that these projects could see capacity more than doubling over the next ten years.

BHP Billiton’s Cerro Matoso nickel mining operation is located in Colombia combining a lateritic nickel ore deposit with a cheap ferronickel smelter. As the world’s second-largest producer of ferronickel it boasts as an operation with the lowest costs.

Nickel production in 2008 was 41,800 tons, which is 9,000 tons lower than 2007’s production due to an industrial stoppage during 2008. Costs were higher because of increased electricity and fuel expenses. The mine ore has an approximate reserve span of 42 years, based on current production levels.

Used Heavy Equipment for Sale and 2 Mining Companies in Dispute over the pujada Nickel Mine in the Philippines

For used heavy equipment for sale, go to MSloane Consulting.

Two mining companies in dispute over the Pujada nickel mine in Southern Mindanao in the Philippines.

BHP, the world's biggest miner, has been in disagreement with its local partner Asiaticus Management Corp over when to start commercial production at the Pujada nickel site in the southern Mindanao region, a debate that has reached the courts.

The Philippine group has accused the Anglo-Australian miner of moving too slowly in developing Pujada, estimated to have 200 million tonnes of nickel ore reserves with 1.3% nickel. Asiaticus had cancelled its joint venture agreement with BHP due to the dispute. In May 2008, the local firm obtained a ruling from a Philippine court barring BHP from the Pujada site, prompting the foreign miner to halt exploration activities.

"It is an option for one of them to buy the other out," Lito Atienza, the minister in charge of the mining sector, told Reuters in a telephone interview.

BHP could buy out Asiaticus' 60% stake in the project or Asiaticus, controlled by Filipino businessman Peter Tan, could purchase BHP's 40% interest, said Atienza.

But the first option is for both companies to resolve their disagreement. "Both should come on the table with clear and clean intentions, that's what I'm asking from them," said Atienza.

Construction Equipment for Panama Canal Expansion

For used construction equipment for sale, visit our Website: http://www.msloaneconsulting.com

Worth $5.2 billion with estimated completion on 2012, the Panamian government needs more than 500 units of construction equipment to excavate 123 million cubic meters of material for the Panama Canal to let 3,000 large ships (92% of the world's shipping fleet) to get through its passage.

A marvel of engineering in its time, today’s Panama Canal is too narrow to fit 92 percent of the world’s shipping fleet through its passage. But in the fall of 2007, the Panama Canal will soon be equipped with the world’s biggest locks, capable of handling most shipping vessels that are over Panamax size. Also, by adding a wider, deeper, and longer third lock lane to the existing two, the project will more than double the canal’s current effective capacity of 15,000 transits per year.

Security Issues in Niger Threatens the Mining Equipment Sector

MSloane Consulting sells used mining equipment anywhere in the world.

Security issues in northern Niger, where Tuareg rebels fight government forces, is ruining investment in the vast desert nation's mining industry including the mining equipment for sector, the mines minister said.

Niger, one of the world's top uranium producers has handed out 127 mining exploration permits over the last three years to attract more investment into the impoverished Saharan nation. But the Tuareg rebellion, calling for autonomy and a greater share of uranium revenues, brought violoence and caused deaths of 300 from their side and some 80 government soldiers -- stifling investments.
