As mining and construction projects across Africa increasingly operate in remote and challenging environments, access to reliable, efficient and flexible equipment is essential. Drilling, Mining & Construction (DMC) supports the continent’s underground mining sector with mechanised equipment and specialised solutions from leading international manufacturers, including Resemin, Putzmeister and Montabert.

At Electra Mining Africa 2026, DMC is showcasing its Blend mobile mixing plant, highlighting the potential of on-site concrete production to simplify logistics and improve efficiency for mining, tunnelling and infrastructure projects.

Mobile mixing provides an alternative to transporting ready-mixed concrete over long distances, bringing production closer to where it is needed. This can help reduce logistical complexity, minimise waste and provide greater flexibility in remote project environments. Blend’s mobile plants are designed for efficient, autonomous operation and can produce concrete and other mixes according to project requirements.

Looking ahead, DMC is focused on expanding its offering across Africa while continuing to provide customers with reliable equipment, technical support and solutions designed around the practical demands of modern underground mining and construction.
