Expertise in engineering is not eas- ily achieved; it requires dedication and a long-term vision. Many of these companies have histories that date back to the 19th century, and they understand the cyclic nature of commodity markets. The situation in the mining sector has changed in the last 18 months. Prices for most mined commodities have softened and mining companies have tabled ambitious future plans. Even though the level of investment for new projects has declined for the moment, miners will still produce sig- nificant amounts of gold, copper, iron ore, nickel, potash, coal, oil sands and more. The difference today is that they are looking to optimize processes to not only improve profit margins, but to also compensate for a lack of skilled labor and a growing regulatory burden. Through innovation and continued investment in research and development, German equipment and service providers are meeting the needs of today’s miners. This edition of Best of Germany focuses on work being done by VDMA mining branch member companies to increase efficiencies, optimize operating costs, and improve safety underground, on the surface and at the mill. We hope that you find value in this publication, wherever you are in the world. Glückauf!

  • Methods and Results of Strip-Mine Reclamation in Germany1
    No. 2 GEOLOGY OF COAL OVERBURDEN 75 METHODS AND RESULTS OF STRIP-MINE RECLAMATION IN GERMANY1 WILHELM KNABE2 Federal Research Organization for Forestry and Forest Products, Reinbek Hamburg, Germany All over the world industry is growing rapidly. This growth includes a great increase of surface mining or strip mining, as you call it. In the last 20 years, it has increased much more than underground mining, which, in some of the old industrial countries, is decreasing substantially. A number of factors have con- tributed to this trend; these include the development of heavy equipment, lower costs, more complete recovery of the coal, and smaller labor requirements. The American strip mines for bituminous coal and the German opencast mines for brown coal (also called lignite) are among the most important examples. This report will present the facts and trends of mining and reclamation in Germany only; it will not at this time make any direct comparison with the situation in Ohio. As you will see, there are very different conditions and solutions, but also very similar trends and problems in the two countries. Let me take three examples. (1) In both countries the mining industry is forced to go deeper and deeper into the earth, because many of the most favor- 1Presented at the Strip-mine Symposium held at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station on August 13-14, 1962. 2Summer 1962: Post-Doctoral Fellow, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio.

The main focus is lexis related to specific technical areas and fields of professional competence. The lexis is presented in a range of communicative contexts. These are mainly transactional dialogues to provide listening practice of real-world language use, but also include reading texts from technical manuals and the like. These texts - both aural and written - contain many highly valuable examples of functional language. For anyone undertaking a career in these fields familiarity with a range of technical lexis is necessary but not by itself sufficient: as well as understanding the technical terms a worker must interact and cooperate with other workers, managers and clients.

  • Safety and Health in Opencast Mines
    The International Programme for the Improvement of Working Conditions and Environment (PIACT) was launched by the International Labour Organisation in 1976 at the request of the International Labour Conference and after extensive consultations with member States. PIACT is designed to promote or support action by member States to set and attain definite objectives aiming at "making work more human". The Programme is thus concerned with improving the quality of working life in all its aspects: for example, the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases, a wider application of the principles of ergonomics, the arrangement of working time, the improvement of the content and organisation of work and of conditions of work in general, a greater concern for the human element in the transfer of technology. To achieve these aims, PIACT makes use of and co-ordinates the traditional means of ILO action, including: – the preparation and revision of international labour standards; – operational activities, including the dispatch of multidisciplinary teams to assist member States on request; – tripartite meetings between representatives of governments, employers and workers, including industrial committees to study the problems facing major industries, regional meetings and meetings of experts; – action-oriented studies and research; and – clearing-house activities, especially through the International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre (CIS) and the Clearing- house for the Dissemination of Information on Conditions of Work. This publication is the outcome of a PIACT project. Cover photograph of Chuquicamata opencast mine, Chile, courtesy of the Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile.
