Successful Delivery of Cold Box Unit to Kansanshi Mine in Solwezi
The Cold Box Unit has been successfully delivered to Kansanshi Mine in Solwezi, marking the completion of a challenging logistical operation that began on October 29, 2024, at the Katima Mulilo Border in Zambia’s Western Province.
The journey spanned multiple provinces, navigating diverse terrains and overcoming logistical challenges before reaching the Kansanshi Mine boom gate at 16:50 hours.
Transporting the oversized and heavy equipment required meticulous planning and collaboration among transport authorities, logistics teams, and Kansanshi Mine to ensure its safety and protect road infrastructure.
The final leg of the journey, a 30-kilometer stretch from the TAZAMA Pipeline Depot in Solwezi to the mine, involved careful navigation through busy highways, minimizing community disruption and safeguarding the unit.
This delivery is a significant milestone for Kansanshi Mine, as the Cold Box Unit is set to enhance operational efficiency and productivity.
The successful operation underscores Zambia’s growing expertise in managing large-scale industrial logistics and highlights the critical role of robust infrastructure in supporting the mining sector.
The collaboration among various stakeholders, including local authorities and transport agencies, showcases the power of teamwork in achieving industrial milestones and sets a strong precedent for future projects.
