We assist mining companies reduce their total cost Total uses its know-how in the mining industry to identify savings and implement improvements on the mine site. Then, together with the mining operator, it starts projects that will con- tribute to reducing the 'total cost' of the mine's operations while at the same time ensuring oil quality and environmental pro- tection. Typically, these projects can be the implementation of new lubrication procedures, changes in the storage infrastruc- ture, or even the introduction of energy effcient and fuel saving lubricants. For example, Total contributed to saving more than £128,000 for UK aggregates provider Lafarge Tarmac at its Mountsorrel Quarry. "After reviewing the switch to Rubia Works 2000 FE 10W30 around nine months later, we calculated fuel savings of more than £128,000. When you are running an operation at full ca- pacity fve days a week, this is a signifcant saving," said Lafarge Tarmac's Mountsorrel production manager Shane Tompkin.
