An HP 12000 in the Uranium mine

9/10 hours, six days a week, that’s how busy the giant Indeco HP 12000 has been quarrying uranium in Namibia.

The “Langer Heinrich” uranium mine is located in the Kalahari Desert, about 80 km from the town of Swakopmund. The breaker is used for various tasks, from excavations for an extension to the uranium production and processing facilities, to trench excavations for laying water mains. The Indeco importer for Namibia is BM – Earthmoving cc run by Mr. Bernd Muller.
