Repairs that never stop, deep where the work happens.

Built directly inside the shaft, our underground workshops eliminate the need to bring heavy equipment to the surface, preserving crucial production hours.

Built directly inside the shaft, our underground workshops eliminate the need to bring heavy equipment to the surface. Technical teams perform preventive maintenance and complete component overhauls right at the rock face, preserving crucial production hours. This strategic infrastructure ensures our mechanised fleet remains operational with minimal downtime.

Maintenance

Zero surface delays.

Our underground maintenance model is built around executing heavy repairs deep inside the mine. By bringing the workshop to the machine, we cut out hours of tramming time and hoist bottlenecks.

PILLAR 01

Proximity to Production

Workshops are strategically located near active production faces, drastically reducing the time required to move equipment for servicing.

PILLAR 02

Fully Equipped Bays

Bays are equipped with heavy lifting gear, specialized diagnostic tools, and proper ventilation to handle major engine and transmission overhauls safely.

PILLAR 03

Inventory Availability

A $3.2M underground spare parts inventory ensures that the right parts are available exactly when needed, eliminating waits for surface delivery.

PILLAR 04

Expert Personnel

Staffed by over 118 certified technicians who specialize in the unique challenges of maintaining heavy mechanised equipment in subterranean environments.
