The African mining industry operates in some of the world’s most severe environments. Extreme climates, remote locations, and the need for time and cost-efficient infrastructure are just some of the many challenges faced in the industry.
When mining companies across Africa required durable, quickly deployable shelter solutions, they turned to us at DomeShelter Australia for innovative shelter solutions tailored to protect people and assets in some of the harshest conditions on earth.
From Eritrea’s Bisha Mine to Ghana’s Tarkwa Gold Mine, the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Kibali Gold Mine, and Egypt’s Sukari Gold Mine, we have proven our ability to meet the unique challenges of remote, high-demand mining operations.
