UGM AUSTRALIA
the opportunity this acquisition affords us to enhance the technology and broaden the applications ”.
INNOVATION UGM has developed the only nonsteel , FRAS ( Fire Resistant Anti- Static ) pipe for use in explosive atmospheres such as underground coal mines . The ADDCAR acquisition will serve as a means to introduce the product to the North American market and ever since the events surrounding the Sago mine disaster , removing conductivity corridors from roadways has became an imperative and this product delivers that outcome .
Additional products such as the UGM Tow-Hitch , designed to be attached to LHD vehicles and remove the need for operators to physically connect trailers , will also be marketed in the USA building upon UGM ’ s knowledge and experience in the underground mining sector .
ADDCAR Innovation is well underway and despite the system being the only one that can mine greater than eight degrees and achieve 500 metres plunge depth , development is well underway to surpass the current capability of sixteen degrees .
