Huesker Minegrids
NBW Mining supplies specialized synthetic Minegrids® to the coal mining industry. Since 1996, the company has revolutionized the recovery of longwall equipment underground. The high strength synthetic Minegrids® are manufactured by Huesker GmbH in Germany who are the world leaders in this technology. The Minegrids® are assembled into one large “mat” known as a “Huesker Minegrid System”. These once piece systems vary from 20m to 400m long depending upon design requirements. Once installed over the longwall roof supports, the Huesker Minegrid System prevents the ingress of rock and debris into the working area as the longwall equipment is withdrawn.
Longwall recovery times have been dramatically reduced with the introduction of Huesker, in some cases by over 50%.
NBW Mining was established in 1994 primarily as a consulting company providing expertise in longwall operations and particularly longwall troubleshooting. In 1996 the company was established as distributor of Huesker Minegrids® internationally. To date we have installed over 450 longwall recovery systems around the globe in Australia, Russia, UK, Norway and South Africa with 100% success rate and huge improvements in safety standards not possible with other systems.
