Projects in the mining industry represent special characteristics and challenges for all allied parties.
The combination of know-how and the large number of completed machines and systems coupled with constant orientation to the state-of-the-art means that optimal technology and equipment can be offered for each geological situation.
The systems operate on sites with varying soils, under extreme temperatures and weather conditions and in most diverse operating environments.
Tenova TAKRAF develops, engineers and designs complete mining systems for continuous mining operations. Together with its partners Tenova TAKRAF supplies durable and reliable systems with high capacity, high speed and which are employable under diverse conditions and tailor made to each individual open cast mining project.
Due to our comprehensive know-how gathered from projects realized in hundreds of mining operations throughout the world, Tenova TAKRAF’s systems and equipment increase the advantages for our customers, whilst providing: optimum adaptation to the geological and technical requirements of earthworks and surface mining operations, low investment, the use of proven and standardized structural components, high availability, simple maintenance, low operating costs.

In conjunction with well-known partners in the international mining world Tenova TAKRAF performs project studies on complete new surface mining operations and the expansion of surface mines.
Tenova TAKRAF performs services in the planning and realization phases, such as complete supply, erection and commissioning of open cast mining systems as well as project management and quality control.
Tenova TAKRAF’s range of services includes structural and mechanical erection including high qualified welding operations and expert riveting, as well as technological planning and execution of complex erection. Tenova TAKRAF provides erection management specialists to supervise and assist erection contractors’ staff.
