Electric transporters aid underground air quality
BMA's Broadmeadow Mine has introduced two battery electric personnel transporters, in a move to help reduce diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure in underground workings.
“Diesel machines create a real hazard in an underground mine and we’ve been on a journey over the past four years to reduce these DPM emissions in the ventilation system," Broadmeadow project manager Darren Wood said.
“We’re thrilled to have found the perfect solution in the battery electric vehicles, which will be used by our maintenance personnel to travel in Negligible-Explosion Risk Zones throughout the underground mine."
