Introduction

Powering Productivity at Sepon Mine with Reliable Hose Float Solutions

As Sepon Mine aimed to double its copper output and strengthen its impact across 72 nearby villages, the demand for high-quality, fit-for-purpose equipment became critical. Coerco partnered with the Laos-based mine to deliver trusted liquid management solutions under tight timelines, contributing to the mine’s continued growth and social contribution.

The Challenge

Unreliable Equipment Delays Critical Mining Operations

Sepon Mine’s push to increase copper cathode output highlighted a recurring issue—previous hose float products had failed to meet quality standards, causing costly delays and operational setbacks. With strict production deadlines and growing output targets, a more dependable international supplier was essential.

Past Product Failures

Previous hose floats supplied to the mine had quality issues that resulted in lost time and money during operations.

Tight Production and Delivery Deadlines

Sepon’s copper output expansion required thousands of units delivered within just weeks, leaving no room for delays or substandard products.

Complex Logistics for Cross-Border Supply

Supplying over 990 hose floats from Australia to Southern Laos introduced logistical challenges involving moulding capacity, freight coordination, and international project management.
