Those working on the Karangahape Station recently held a site-wide evacuation drill, which included getting a worker-sized dummy above ground from the temporary access shaft. The shaft is now more than halfway to its final depth of 22-metres.
A big thanks to our neighbours for letting 150 ‘orange vests’ assemble in their car park!

Those working on the Karangahape Station recently held a site-wide evacuation drill, which included getting a worker-sized dummy above ground from the temporary access shaft. The shaft is now more than halfway to its final depth of 22-metres.
A big thanks to our neighbours for letting 150 ‘orange vests’ assemble in their car park!
