Mining operations are important to the improvement and preservation of our daily living,
providing resources used to create electricity, roads, and communities. Mines are typically
located far from where most people work, often in mountainous or arid regions, and can be
found as much as 2,000 meters below ground. The equipment used is varied and can be operated
continuously, 24 hours a day for 7 days a week. The mining process starts with the breaking
up of the rock face and continues through the processing of the minerals, utilizing such
technology as cutting equipment, screening machinery, stockpiling equipment and conveying
equipment. Along with sustainability, productivity and reliability are necessities for
success in the mining and construction fields. If any of this equipment breaks down, there
can be serious implications for production. Moreover, the recent trend towards ever-larger
equipment means that repair work can become quite a major undertaking.
