WearCheck showcases condition monitoring at Mining Indaba 2025

March 2025 News

Scientific oil analysis, water testing and analysis, transformer oil analysis, and reliability services – these were some of the condition monitoring techniques that were on show at WearCheck’s stand at the 2025 ‘Investing in Africa Mining’ Indaba. As a specialist condition monitoring company, WearCheck offers a wide variety of predictive maintenance techniques, products and services that benefit the mining industry across Africa.

At WearCheck’s stand a team of technical experts demonstrated some of the company’s world-class technology-based solutions. Marketing manager, Vanessa Evans explains: “Mining Indaba visitors were a key target audience for us as we could show them exactly how our tried and tested condition monitoring techniques could enhance their operations. This applied to potential new customers as well as to our long-term clients – it was a golden opportunity for us to showcase the most up-to-date technology and our most innovative solutions. Our team really enjoyed the chance to meet up with our customers in person, many of whom have been with WearCheck for so long that they are more like old friends than clients.”

WearCheck’s core service is the scientific analysis of used oil, fuel and other fluids. This process entails analysing fluid samples for trace particles, which indicate a particular component that could be suffering unusual wear patterns. A team of specialist diagnosticians then assesses the results and proposes a course of remedial action if required.

The company has expanded to offer additional predictive maintenance techniques, which are selected for each client’s condition monitoring programme based on the machinery and components being monitored. Some of these include asset reliability care services, transformer chemistry services, and advanced field services such as non-destructive testing, technical compliance and rope condition assessment. WearCheck also offers lubrication-enabled reliability, providing clients with bespoke solutions to ensure that their lubrication systems are well managed, efficient and cost effective.

WearCheck’s expansive service offering also includes scientific water analysis through its water division, which analyses the quality of wastewater, groundwater and surface water in areas surrounding mining and exploration sites. The water division caters to a variety of needs. For example, ensuring that effluent and wastewater is compliant and safe for disposal. Compliance with municipal by-laws and environmental safety standards allows for the safe disposal of wastewater into streams and rivers. Additionally, ground and surface water quality analysis allows for the determination of water safety for use on equipment, drinking, washing and other purposes.
