Equipment – old and new
Some of the equipment we use dates back to the 1930s and some is the most cutting edge technology in the mining industry today.
Our tools have to go hand-in-hand with the equipment. If we are working on an older piece of equipment, then we need more traditional tools while the newer equipment takes a lot more delicate instrumentation. We have newer instruments for hydraulics - there are a lot of gauges and sensors that we install when we are troubleshooting. We also use finer equipment like micrometers and callipers.
