WearCheck will once again be part of the 2026 Investing in Africa Mining Indaba, taking place from 9 to 12 February at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
At the event, the WearCheck team will be showcasing a wide range of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions designed for the mining environment. From used oil analysis and transformer oil testing to asset reliability services and scientific water analysis, the focus is on helping mines reduce unplanned downtime, extend component life and improve overall performance.
WearCheck works closely with mining operations across Africa, providing practical tools and programmes that support a shift from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven decision-making. By combining laboratory diagnostics with on-site technical services, mines gain a clearer, more complete picture of equipment health.
Visitors can find WearCheck on stand [number], hosted by marketing manager Vanessa Evans. Technical specialists will be available throughout the event to share real-world applications, explain recent developments across the business and demonstrate how predictive maintenance technologies can be built into everyday maintenance strategies.
At the core of WearCheck’s offering is the scientific analysis of used oil, fuel and other fluids. By examining samples for microscopic wear debris and early warning indicators, potential faults can be identified long before failure occurs. Results are interpreted by specialist diagnosticians who highlight trends and, where necessary, recommend corrective action – enabling maintenance teams to intervene early.
Beyond fluid analysis, WearCheck offers a suite of complementary predictive maintenance services tailored to different equipment types and operating conditions. These include asset reliability care services, transformer chemistry services and advanced field services such as non-destructive testing, technical compliance and rope condition assessment. Lubrication-enabled reliability services further support consistent, efficient lubrication practices on site.
The company also provides scientific water testing through its dedicated water division, assessing wastewater, groundwater and surface water at mining and exploration sites. This supports both operational requirements and environmental responsibilities, helping mines meet compliance standards, manage discharge responsibly and reduce risk to surrounding water resources.
As WearCheck marks 50 years in business this year, the company continues to focus on what it has always done best – helping mines stay productive by identifying potential problems early, before they have a chance to impact operations.
