💡 This is the part of engineering we love.
Taking a real problem from underground, working alongside the people who understand it best, and turning an idea into a practical piece of equipment that goes back underground and makes a difference.
The Mini Face Bolter is a project our Jet Group team is particularly proud to have helped bring to life.
Projects like this don't start with a catalogue or an off-the-shelf product. They start with a problem, collaboration and a willingness to look at whether there is a better way of doing the job.
For our team, seeing the finished machine operating successfully is rewarding enough. Seeing Aquila Mine and the Mini Face Bolter now recognised as a Safety Innovation Award finalist makes it even better. 🏆
Congratulations to the Aquila team and everyone involved in the journey. Proud to see another Queensland-engineered and manufactured mining solution making a difference underground.
