A partnership between renewable energy company Africa Clean Energy Solutions (Aces) and mining, civil and roadworks company 3C Tech Mining has led to the development of a turnkey prefabricated medical facility – SAFEPOD – which can be used to bolster medical facilities available to tackle the spread of Covid-19.
The SAFEPOD, which comes in two variations, is valued at R3-million, has floor space of 116 m2 and can house between 16 and 22 persons. The solution is primarily designed for mining-related conditions, but can be used elsewhere too.
