Case Study
New drone technology
Living our value of Progress, the introduction of drone technology has eliminated the need for our Maintenance Services Team to inspect coal-loading chutes, a job that took several hours and team members.
Using drones to complete this maintenance task reduces several risks including working in a confined space, falling from heights, and injury from falling hazards such as tiles or debris. The Maintenance Service Team has three drones that can be used to inspect other equipment and infrastructure where access or heights pose a challenge and risk. In addition to being more efficient, we are able to obtain quality images of any equipment requiring repairs and more effectively manage maintenance planning outcomes, incurring less down-time and achieving improved cost efficiencies.
The new technology has also provided new training and development opportunities for employees, with 19 employees undertaking a six-day accredited training course to gain their drone pilot licence.
