BOA for the Mining Sector
Drive Productivity and Earn B-BBEE Points with On-Site Hose Repair.
For South African mining operations, the twin pressures of maximising productivity and ensuring stringent regulatory compliance are paramount. Every hour of downtime on a prime mover or excavator directly impacts production targets, while the mandates of the Mining Charter III demand strategic, impactful investments in economic transformation. The BOA Hydraulics solution is uniquely engineered to address both challenges simultaneously, offering a powerful pathway to operational excellence and B-BBEE compliance.
Operational Dominance in the Harshest Environments
The logistical challenges of mining—remote sites, harsh conditions, and the hours-long wait for external service technicians—make hydraulic hose failures particularly catastrophic. With the BOApod mobile hydraulic hose repair unit, you eliminate this dependency. This all-terrain, on-site workshop brings the factory to the field, enabling your team to assemble a new, permanent hose assembly in as little as 10 minutes.
Equipped with German-made Uniflex machinery and a stock of high-quality hoses and fittings, the BOApod ensures every repair meets the highest safety and quality standards required for the mining environment. This isn’t a temporary patch; it’s an OEM-quality solution that gets your multi-million-rand assets back to work immediately, transforming a 3-4 hour delay into a minor interruption.
A Strategic Solution for B-BBEE Enterprise and Supplier Development
The Mining Charter III and the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice require mining companies to make significant contributions to Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD). Finding relevant, sustainable, and impactful initiatives that also benefit your core operation is a major challenge. The BOA Hydraulics solution provides a direct and powerful answer.
By funding a local, black-owned SMME (with an annual turnover under R50 million, as stipulated by the guidelines) with a BOApod and a dedicated service contract, your mine can establish a fully compliant ESD beneficiary.
This single investment achieves multiple strategic goals:
Earns Priority ESD Points
Your contribution directly counts towards the Enterprise and Supplier Development element of your B-BBEE scorecard, a priority element that is critical for overall compliance.
Fulfils Procurement Targets
The newly established enterprise becomes a BEE-compliant service provider. Your procurement spend with this entity helps you meet the Charter’s target of sourcing 80% of services from South African BEE companies.
Secures Operational Uptime
You gain a dedicated, on-site hose repair service that is exclusively focused on your mine’s productivity, eliminating wait times and ensuring rapid response.
This innovative approach transforms a mandatory compliance expenditure into a strategic investment in your own operational resilience. It is the smartest way to meet your B-BBEE obligations while simultaneously driving productivity and profitability.
