Accra, Feb. 22, GNA
– WearCheck, South African condition monitoring specialists, have upgraded
their laboratory in Tarkwa into a state-of-the-art testing centre to now
conduct transformer oil, coolant and fuel, and traditional used oil analysis.

Tarkwa’s new
laboratory is fitted with various instruments to allow for extensive advanced
testing.

A statement from the
company said a second laboratory had also been opened in Kumasi to provide
world class oil analysis and reliability solutions services to industries in
the Ashanti Region.

It said the opening
of the new offices was a direct result of increased demand for excellent
condition monitoring services in Ghana.

This brings to 17
the number of laboratories operated by WearCheck, which was founded over 40
years ago in Durban, South Africa, and processes in excess of 800,000 used oil
samples annually.

Since 2013,
WearCheck Tarkwa has successfully serviced Ghanaian mining operations and other
industries, conducting the scientific analysis of used oil and other condition
monitoring techniques, all of which reduce maintenance costs and boost
productivity by improving equipment reliability and availability.

The Managing
Drector, Neil Robinson, expressed delight to be expanding business operations
in Ghana.


“The industries in
Ghana have welcomed WearCheck with open arms, for which we are very grateful.”

“The positive
feedback from our Ghanaian customers has inspired our company to expand into
the Ashanti area to meet the local needs….”
