Case Study: AngloGold improves mine dump system uptime with Victaulic high-pressure couplings

AngloGold removes a 9-meter pipe section faster with Victaulic

AngloGold, a key global mining company, faced a challenge while retrofitting high-pressure water lines at its Fraser Alexander Mine. They needed a solution that would allow for the easy addition and removal of pipes in their mine dump system with minimal downtime. They partnered with Victaulic and utilized its Style SC77HP high-pressure shouldered couplings.

The Victaulic solution provided the design flexibility and ease of installation required for the project. It enabled crews to quickly remove a 9-meter pipe section without having to pull the surrounding pipes, drastically reducing system downtime during maintenance. By implementing Victaulic's specialized couplings, AngloGold optimized system uptime and maximized productivity at the mine.
