Project scope

Project scope, in detail.

SMENECON applied the Mono Ferro Pur + Polyflex 55 system across key CIL tank assets at Newmont's Akyem and Ahafo gold mining operations in Ghana. The system has held for 7+ years where prior coatings required full re-application annually.

Substrate: steel CIL tank interiors and exteriors exposed to alkaline cyanide leach chemistry. Application: roller and spray. Project executed by SMENECON under Simon Kyere, Project Engineer.
