Test Facilities
The need for mock-up and test facilities was imminent with the continuous increase in the number of units in the mining industry. Our mock-up facilities are being used as the final testing phase on all units before being dispatched to our clients. Our research and design team then implement any further refinements in our test facility, which simulates our clients’ underground mining conditions.
