Cynodon dactylon outperformed Themeda triandra and Hyparrhenia hirta, reaching 100 per cent survival and cover at all three trial sites by 2007 with or without fertiliser. Acacia sieberana reached 97 per cent survival at Kleinkopje Colliery but grew poorly at Optimum and Syferfontein. Planting plugs suits slopes too steep for a planter machine and buffers against pasture grass intrusion.
Cleaning Near Moving Conveyors
2011
First phase of a two part investigation into conveyor cleaning practice at South African coal mines, covering the legal position, current mine practice and available machinery.
What this report foundConveyance legislation promulgated in 2008 and enforced soon after left the coal industry without a lawful way to clean near and under running conveyors.

Conveyance legislation promulgated in 2008 and enforced soon after left the coal industry without a lawful way to clean near and under running conveyors. The first phase defined the problem, recorded the cleaning practices mines already use successfully, and built a structured database of mechanised platform options worth pursuing. High risk areas remain drives, take ups, snub and tail pulleys and transfer points.
