Mining operations are throwing away up to 20% of their copper because they simply don’t know what’s in the shovel. That’s like loading millions of dollars onto a truck and driving it straight to the waste dump. In this episode of Mining NOW, host Jerrod Downey sits down with Rodrigo Andai, Chief Commercial Officer at MineSense, to uncover how their ShovelSense, BeltSense, and Data Portal technologies are solving one of the industry’s oldest and most costly problems.

Hidden costs are quietly killing profitability on construction and aggregate sites—and most operators don’t even see it. From growing reject piles to wasted material, downtime, and labor inefficiencies, what looks like a small issue on the surface can quickly turn into a massive financial drain. In this episode of The Construction Show, host Rory Bamford sits down with Jock Voelzke of Surestrike International to uncover the real problem behind these hidden losses.

Surestrike brings a different approach—one that challenges traditional “force-based” methods and replaces them with precision, efficiency, and smarter energy delivery. Through powerful frameworks like the Hidden Cost Iceberg, Force vs Finesse, and the Profit Recovery Triangle, Jock breaks down how operations can recover lost profit, improve uptime, and turn waste into opportunity.

Screening inefficiencies, constant downtime, and rapid wear are costing construction operations thousands in lost productivity. Traditional screening methods often fail to handle heavy-duty applications, leading to maintenance headaches, material loss, and unpredictable performance.

In this episode of The Construction Show, filmed live at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, Bernard Betts, Ian Edwards, Ryan Pintar, Arianne Bourke-Meagher, and Kevin Laporte from MAJOR Wire reveal how FLEX-MAT® and modular heavy-duty frames are transforming screening systems. From tailored R&D solutions selecting the perfect polyurethane and steel combinations, to advanced tools like the MAJOR App, RFID chips, and online quoting, their insights help construction teams reduce downtime, extend wear life, and improve efficiency.
