Torsa develops a safety system for stockpiles at Antapaccay (Glencore)

Torsa carried out a successful project to develop a state-of-the-art safety system for the stockpiles at the Antapaccay mine in Peru, owned by Glencore. The main goal of this solution was to implement an alert system for the operator at the stockpiles, aiming to prevent incidents related to the operator’s position on the absorption feeders.

Project scope:

The project involved an analysis of the location of the feeders and the interaction between various mining equipment and these elements. The goal was to prevent situations where mining equipment could face setbacks during the mineral absorption process. The solution provided an easy-to-use interface that informed machinery operators of risks in their work area. It offered visual and auditory alerts only in the event of a real risk, making it an effective tool for improving safety in the work zone.

Implementation Process:

The success of the project can be attributed to the comprehensive scope of the work carried out by Torsa:

1. Development of the stockpile alert solution: Torsa designed and developed the alert system based on the previously reviewed technical proposal.

2. Detailed engineering: Torsa carried out detailed engineering to define key data for the system’s development, including the identification of risk zones.

3. Equipment supply: Torsa provided the necessary equipment for the implementation of the safety system.

4. Installation, commissioning, and operator training: Torsa handled the seamless installation, commissioning, and provided comprehensive training to the operators.

Achievements and recognitions:

The implementation of Torsa’s technology at the Antapaccay mine, owned by Glencore, proved to be a remarkable success. The reliability and effectiveness of the project led to Torsa’s safety solution receiving recognition from ISEM (Peruvian Institute of Mining Safety).
