Mechanisation is the most reliable way to ensure the safety of workers in any construction underground. In this episode we look at the growth in mechanised methodologies for shaft-sinking

And this technology has its origins in the 1970s, but it is one that has seen a surge in interest over the last two decades… and following that, a number of equipment models have entered the market.

To talk about this, we are joined by two engineers who bring together years of experience in mechanical engineering…and decades of mining know-how.
