About us
Run by people who
have run the plant
Started in 2013 by operators out of the Mpumalanga coalfields. Our metallurgists prove the numbers, our boilermakers build the steel, our managers run the shift.

6Services under one contract
Capability
One stop.
Whole plant.
Six services, one team. Clients stop paying six suppliers to point at each other.
Plant Construction
Steel, chutes, bins and conveyors built and erected by our own crews. Fixed scope, fixed programme, one site manager answerable to you.
Plant Maintenance
Shutdowns, wear parts, screen and liner change-outs, condition monitoring — keeping tonnage and product spec on target, day after day.
Metallurgy Services
Qualified metallurgists in-house: sampling, washability, yield accounting, audits and process optimisation.
Mining
Contract mining and ROM supply — pit to plant, bench to stockpile, coordinated with the processing schedule.
Lab Services
Washability, ash and moisture analysis, yield certificates — results your metallurgists and your customers can both rely on.
The commercial case
A cost-effective
alternative
Processing is expensive because it is fragmented — a design house, a fabricator, a spares agent, a consultancy, a contractor, each with its own margin. We do all of it. Our clients have saved millions.
Own steel
No fabrication markup
Built in our workshop, not bought in and re-invoiced.
Direct spares
OEM without the agent
Same part, same spec, a fraction of the emergency price.
In-house metallurgy
Yield, not guesswork
Yield proven before you spend, defended once you run.
One contract
One team accountable
Single scope. No gap between suppliers for a problem to hide in.
What we process
Coal, chrome
and aggregate
Correct cut point, stable medium, honest screening. The rules are the same whatever the feed.
Dense Medium Separation
Cyclone and bath circuits sized to your washability curve. We set the cut density, stabilise the medium loop and prove yield against the float-and-sink before we hand over.
- Cyclone & drum circuits
- Medium recovery & densifier control
- Yield & ash accounting
Crushing & Screening
Jaw, cone and impact circuits with screen decks matched to the product split.
- Mobile & fixed crushing plants
- Vibrating screen plants, built in-house
- Conveyors, bins & feed control
Chrome Recovery
Spiral and gravity recovery for chrome ore and tailings retreatment.
- Spiral concentrator circuits
- Tailings & dump retreatment
- Grade & recovery optimisation
Flowsheet
A jig plant,
end to end
The circuit we completed, commissioned and ran in 2025.
Export & logistics
Vessel
management
Product does not earn until it is on the water. We run the export leg: stockpile build and reclaim, quality against contract spec, loading rate, hatch sequence and documentation.
To date we have loaded two 75 000 ton coal vessels for an export client, both to contract spec.
- Stockpile build, reclaim & blending to spec
- Sampling, analysis & quality certification
- Loading rate, hatch sequence & trim
- Vessel documentation & despatch reporting
Residue
Tailings dam
management
A tailings facility is a plant asset, not a dumping ground. We run the survey cycle, manage deposition and freeboard, build the catwalks and keep the records your inspector will ask for.
- Survey, level control & freeboard monitoring
- Deposition planning & delivery pipework
- Penstock catwalks, access & maintenance
- Return water management & compliance records
How we work
Design. Build.
Commission. Manage.
Four stages, one accountable team.
Design
Sample the feed, run the washability, size the circuit around it.
Build
Steel, chutes, screens and conveyors fabricated and erected. One site manager answerable to you.
Commission
Cold runs, wet runs, then ore. We hold the plant until it hits tonnage and spec.
Manage
Crews, shifts, SHEQ files, production reporting, maintenance and spares on the shelf.
Projects
Selected
projects
Plants designed, built, commissioned or run by the G8 team.
Chrome Plant Construction
Currently building a chrome processing plant, from structure and circuit layout through to erection on site.
Crusher Plant Construction
Currently building a crusher plant — structure, crushing and screening circuit, erected by our own crews.
Tailings dam management
Survey cycle, deposition and freeboard control, penstock catwalk construction and return water management on an operating residue facility.
New vibrating screen designs
New screen designs developed and fabricated in-house — structure, decks, feed and discharge arrangement — built to suit the material being handled.
Coal export — two 75 000 t vessels
Vessel management for an export client: stockpile reclaim, quality control against contract spec and loading of two 75 000 ton coal vessels.
Jig plant — completed & commissioned
Jig plant completed and commissioned to agreed tonnage and product spec, then managed by our team through production.
