Boliden Mineral
Boliden Mineral is a mining and smelting company with production in Sweden, Finland and Ireland. The company e.g. operates the biggest zinc mine in Europe, Tara mines. To ensure that Boliden’s shotcrete and machine scaling operators are well trained and efficient, the company established certification courses in 2017. The courses are conducted by Edvirt® and are currently being held in the Boliden area, close to Skellefteå, Sweden. The courses give operators knowledge through theory, practical training and assessments in virtual reality as well as on-the-job sessions.

”Our goals are to increase the quality of sprayed concrete and utilize the shotcrete better at Boliden´s UG mines. To achieve these set out goals, Boliden is working in collaboration with Edvirt to offer shotcrete training for both new and old nozzlemen in order to increase their knowledge, competence and skills within the area of shotcreting. The results are positive”.
