Status: Completed
Hail Creek Mine, operated by Glencore in the Bowen Basin, is a large open‑cut operation producing metallurgical and
thermal coal using truck‑and‑shovel methods.
Stemming trucks play a key support role by delivering and placing stemming material into blast holes to ensure safe and controlled blasting.
Wisely was engaged by Glencore to complete essential repairs on a stemming truck to restore its safe and dependable performance in the blasting cycle.
The works included repairs to the stemming hopper, refurbishment of guarding, replacement of conveyor
pulley bearings, renewal of skirts, and installation of a new conveyor belt.
All components were inspected, fitted, and tested to operational standards, returning the unit to reliable service.
The completed repairs provided a robust, fit‑for‑purpose result that supports safe and efficient blasting activities at
Hail Creek Mine.
