Underground fleet maintenance workshop - SKT Global technicians performing planned maintenance
Maintenance

Built to keep running.

Every machine in our fleet operates within a structured maintenance programme designed to maximise availability and minimise unplanned downtime. Our maintenance model is built around four pillars: prevention, prediction, rapid repair, and parts readiness.

PILLAR 01

Preventive Maintenance

Scheduled servicing at fixed operating hours. All major components tracked digitally with full maintenance history per unit and automatic service reminders.

PILLAR 02

Predictive Monitoring

Onboard telemetry monitors engine health, hydraulics, and component wear in real time. Alerts issued before failure thresholds are reached.

PILLAR 03

In-Shaft Repair

Four underground workshops eliminate surface transport time. Most repairs are completed within the same operating shift, minimising production impact.

PILLAR 04

Parts Availability

$3M+ spare parts inventory held locally in Zambia. Critical components stocked to less than 4-hour replacement lead time.
