This is the first contract that Conflow has secured in Colombia, following brokering a relationship with C I Milpa through its sister company Bretby Gammatech.
A team from Conflow, part of the President Engineering Group, visited the C I Milpa mine in Bogota and fitted two dust suppression systems. They also fitted a fire suppression system on a roadway for Milpa in the another location in Bogota.
Conflow managing director Mark Henley said: “This is the start of a very positive relationship with C I Milpa and we are looking forward to further developing our business in Colombia. Because of the large amount of mining in Colombia, we see it as a major growth area for our business.”
David Fernando Jaimes Mojica from C I Milpa said: “We are focused on continually improving the efficiency and safety of our production sites and the Conflow systems are an important part of this.
“We chose to work with Conflow, because of the company’s expertise in the manufacture and installation of dust and fire suppression systems and are very pleased with the result.”
C I Milpa has dealt with Bretby Gammatech for several years, as the company has supplied a number of ash probes to enable it to monitor the ash content of coal using natural gamma radiation.
