Shaft refurbishment work and dewatering continues at South Crofty. Last week saw the delivery of our Phase 2 shaft work platform, which will enable us to speed up the replacement of the old shaft timbers in New Cooks Kitchen shaft with new steel guides.

For the last 8 weeks our crews have been working from the recently installed main cage to remove old timbers, scale, mesh and re-bolt the top section of the shaft. The new platform will stay in the shaft and provide a safe, stable work platform, working its way down from the collar to the very bottom, 770 metres below. The platform is accessed and serviced by the existing main cage, which is used to transport personnel and equipment down to the platform and bring the old timbers out.

Really great work by the whole team at South Crofty, the platform arrived on Thursday last week and was installed and commissioned in just 4 days. Thanks also to IME Consultants (IMEC) for designing and fabricating the platform and SIEMAG TECBERG UK Limited for designing and commissioning the communication systems and main cage modifications.
