Sepon Mining Operation

Vilabouly, Savannakhet Province of Southern Laos
Hose and Cable Floats, Floating Walkway
Introduction
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
Previous hose floats supplied to the mine had quality issues that resulted in lost time and money during operations.
Sepon’s copper output expansion required thousands of units delivered within just weeks, leaving no room for delays or substandard products.
Supplying over 990 hose floats from Australia to Southern Laos introduced logistical challenges involving moulding capacity, freight coordination, and international project management.
The Solution
Coerco created new moulds and implemented round-the-clock manufacturing to meet volume and time demands without sacrificing quality.
A collaborative contract and logistics plan were developed to manage cross-border challenges and ensure consistent, complete deliveries to Laos.
After successful initial delivery, Sepon re-engaged Coerco for additional infrastructure, including floating walkways—marking the beginning of an ongoing, value-aligned partnership.
