23.01.2022 Just finished an install on a new D11T. Very nice working on brand new machines! The install is really easy and we are working on fitting instructions and kits. More airflow than a standard machine and no dust!!

17.01.2022 I can't believe it's been 6 months since I last entered info onto this page. Well, I can say I have been busy but I'm also not a natural with this marketing thing either (particularly FaceBook)... it's a good thing our business isn't hinged on that ability. Oh, by the way, we now have our very own office based in the Karratha CBD at 5/4 Welcome Road.

12.01.2022 You know you are writing too many reports when you wipe something off the white board then look for the undo button because you want to make it come back!

01.01.2022 Wittenoom, what a terrible, awesome, beautiful spot. I had to go look at the gorge and I collected an air sample while I was there however, I minimised my risk by staying on the bitumen where it wasn't washed out and I wore a fit tested half face respirator the entire time. I also didn't drive past the first tailing dump and I limited my access to 30 minutes. Why? because I couldn't effectively decontaminate if I needed to. So, for my low risk task (representative of a best c...ase scenario), airborne asbestos fibre was not detected via PCM and SEM analysis. The Gov. is currently trying to pass legislation to forcibly remove the remaining residents and I spoke to one of them who was very approachable and seemed fairly honest about the risk but still not keen to relocate. It's a tough situation but if you look at it without emotion, the ALARP principal has to apply. The other issue is the town could be a bit of a magnet for tourists, there were fresh signs of people going further into the gorge and probably for longer, I'm guessing at least some of them wouldn't have applied the same precautions as I did! The gorge has got to be one of the most asbestos contaminated places on earth. I did a rough calc and I reckon there could be up to 2 million square meters of heavily contaminated ground in the gorge and mine and many more millions of square meters of varying levels of contaminated ground encompassing the town, the flood plain and probably the airport and race track.
