Pit Viper drill service and on-site fault diagnosis in WA - done properly, the first time.
Our WA field service team was recently on site servicing a Pit Viper drill, and while they were there they diagnosed and resolved an ongoing fault that had been do***ng the rig.
That's AWE Beyond: 24/7 mining field service across WA, backed by people who know these machines inside out.
Not just ticking off a service sheet - getting to the root cause and fixing it properly.
Nice work, WA crew. π

"Iβve walked into plenty of rooms where I had to prove I belonged before the conversation even started."
In mining and engineering, standards matter. Performance matters. Delivery matters.
But long-term industry strength also depends on how well we develop people across every level of the workforce - trades, technical teams, operational leadership and executive roles.
WA has the capability. The opportunity now is to make sure that capability has a clear pathway forward.
The next generation of leaders should walk into the room prepared, capable and empowered.

16M Grader shutdown completed safely and ahead of schedule in WA.
Our maintenance team recently wrapped a 16M Grader shutdown with no safety incidents and ahead of the planned timeline. In mining shutdowns those two don't always come together and getting both right comes down to planning, the right people and a Zero Harm mindset that never gets traded for the clock.
Hats off to the crew who made it happen. π
Planning a shutdown and want it delivered safely and on time? Get in touch.

Epiroc T45 drill component servicing and overhauls - now available off-site at our Mackay facility in Queensland.
Our QLD team is now servicing clients with off-site mechanical repairs out of Mackay, and the first jobs are already out the door. We recently completed a run of servicing and overhauls on Epiroc T45 drill components, including the COP EX3060 Drifter - stripped, inspected, overhauled, expertly executed, painted and ready for transport.
For Mackay-based mining clients, that means component overhauls handled closer to site, less downtime, and the quality standard AWE is known for. That's AWE Built.
Got Epiroc drill components due for an overhaul? Talk to our Mackay team.

Thirteen years ago on the 1st of April, no less, Allister Murray stepped off a plane in Perth with a Scottish accent and a fair tolerance for a cold pint.
Last month, he made it official. Allister is now an Australian Citizen! π¦πΊπ
Allister grew up in Carnwath, a small village near Lanark in Scotland, and landed in WA back in 2013. These days he's our Beyond Shuts Supervisor - running shutdown work that doesn't forgive shortcuts or weak crews.
His favourite things about Australia? The weather (fair enough), and watching two of his boys run out for the Ellenbrook Rabbits π
And the similarities he's found between Scots and Aussies? "Drinking beers." π»
Said with a perfectly straight face.
Congratulations Allister. You have always been a fellow Aussie to us, now it's just offical! You've earned it and we are so happy to have you on the team!

3 problems every mining customer feels.
3 ways AWE solves them.
3D Laser Scanning - when the drawings don't exist, but the new part still has to fit. Site scan to certified design, all under one roof.
End-to-End Fixed Plant - one workshop, one team, from concept to commissioned. Hoppers, chutes, walkways and frames.
Refurbish. Fabricate. Perform - refurbished isn't a downgrade. It's an upgrade. Buckets, Trays, mobile assets - better than new.
3 problems. 1 trusted partner. Built to go beyond.

Black on the body. Orange on the teeth. Linerless on the inside.
The AWE SPARTAN Linerless Bucket - engineered and built in-house for high-stress mining operations.
The Linerless design strips out the internal liner most buckets carry, which means less weight, more usable volume, fewer parts to maintain.
