Global Project Initiatives

Contracts in Canada
In Canada, MND is tasked with securing the access road to the Brucejack gold mine in British Columbia. This vital 76-kilometer Knipple Glacier road needs to remain accessible around the clock, regardless of weather conditions. MND is installing a Gazex system to safeguard certain sections, chosen for its reliability and autonomy.
Partnerships in the United States
Meanwhile, in the United States, the California Department of Transportation has renewed its contract with MND for another three years. This includes replacing six Gazex systems in Tahoe Valley, ensuring that critical transport routes are protected.
Advancements in Chile
In Chile, MND is modernizing communication systems for forty Gazex units at the CODELCO Div.Los Bronces copper mine. This advanced system provides satellite connectivity via 18 satellites, enabling secure communication with the SAFET-Cs web platform. Additional installations are anticipated in the Coldelco Div.Andina mine, located at over 3,000 meters above sea level.
Innovations in Argentina
At the Las Leñas ski resort in Argentina, MND is upgrading a Gazex installation positioned at altitudes ranging from 7,200 to 11,200 feet. This modernization effort emphasizes MND's focus on delivering cutting-edge solutions in challenging alpine environments.
Enhancements in Norway
In Norway, MND is enhancing safety on the trunk road at Arnøya by deploying 24 removable O'BellX® units, coupled with a radar system and a weather station. This setup not only safeguards a ski touring route but also includes a contract for site operation and maintenance that spans a renewable five years.
