✨ INNOVATION AT WORK ✨ Last week, we left the floaties at home in favour of a higher tech solution! Check out the maiden voyage of our UAV for in-pit water sampling, both saving us time and reducing any risks associated with working near water edges. 🚁 #drone #environmentteam #innovation #safetyfirst #peoplefirst #bitwindy Ben Elliott Shannyn Curd
Excellent work here by our Environmental team in looking for smarter ways to improve the safety of work, reduce costs, improve efficiency and simply make our processes better. Great example of our ASPIRE Core Values!
Fantastic, this is moving forward in the right way, great innovation.
Fantastic update!
Ashleigh Shelton see we should have done this!

3moA novel solution to eliminate the geotechnical risk’s of accessing pits for water sampling! Couple of pointers from this maiden flight for anyone thinking of doing the same. - longer sampling line reduces pendulum effect on drone and battery drain from the motor compensation. - comply with the CASA regs - several droves on market that could be suitable, do your research on what works for you (payload, secondary purposes, budget, licensing requirements, etc). Now to test out its fishing capabilities… 😉
