Cold Box Unit Completes Successful Journey to Kansanshi Mine in Zambia
The Cold Box Unit has successfully arrived at Kansanshi Mine in Solwezi, completing a challenging journey that began on October 29, 2024, at the Katima Mulilo Border in Zambia’s Western Province.
After a well-coordinated transport effort, the load passed through multiple provinces, navigating various terrains and logistical hurdles before arriving at the Kansanshi Mine boom gate at 16:50 hours.
Transporting this large and complex piece of equipment posed significant challenges due to its abnormal size and weight. The operation required meticulous planning and coordination between transport authorities, logistics teams, and Kansanshi Mine to ensure the load’s safety and the preservation of road infrastructure.
The final 30 kilometers from the TAZAMA Pipeline Depot in Solwezi to the mine involved careful navigation through busy highways, ensuring minimal community disruption while safeguarding the integrity of the Cold Box Unit.
The successful delivery marks a significant milestone for Kansanshi Mine, where the Cold Box Unit will play a crucial role in enhancing operational efficiency and productivity.
This achievement highlights Zambia’s growing capacity to manage large-scale industrial logistics and underscores the importance of robust infrastructure in supporting the mining sector.
The collaboration between various stakeholders, including local authorities and transport agencies, demonstrates the power of teamwork in achieving industrial goals.
This operation sets the stage for future projects, showcasing Zambia’s readiness to support the mining industry with world-class logistical solutions.
