As a member of the SAIMH you have access to industry specialists as well as technical documentation, both historic and current, that have been gathered during local and international seminars and conferences, research and testing. Members are also able to engage the services of the institute for their own research.

The SAIMH is able to offer training and tuition for students, technicians and working personnel, both in the classroom and on site. Tuition for those already operating and maintaining plant, have proved beneficial in reducing operating costs and increasing equipment availability/longevity.

The SAIMH endeavours to keep its members abreast of improvements and innovations in the industry, and in conjunction with the Conveyor Manufacturers Association, hold forums and publish papers on such matters.

In a conscious effort to promote engineering in general as a career, the SAIMH is able to offer classroom presentations to schools and colleges which highlights the numerous avenues which can be embarked upon as a career and how each of these work within a typical engineering EPCM project. We have found this in the past to be of significant help to students and alike.
