Winners! Collaboration Award at QME 2024

Water Trucks Equipped With Bund Monitoring Technology

A significant transformation is underway at MacKellar Group, focusing on monitoring bunds during our operations. At the core of this progress is a game-changing technology – Bund Monitoring from Manabotix – which is setting a new benchmark for safety in mining operations.

At the Queensland Mining Awards, during the 2024 Queensland Mining Exhibition, MacKellar Group and Manabotix were honoured with the Collaboration Award for the successful implementation of Bund Monitoring at Jellinbah Mine. The achievement was highlighted at the Gala Dinner.

Thanks to our partnership with Manatotix, MacKellar Group was able to roll out this innovative safety technology. This wasn’t just an achievement; it’s a testament to MacKellar Group’s strong commitment to safety excellence.

Focusing on Safety and Innovation

For decades MacKellar Group and Jellinbah Group have maintained safety as their priority. It was this shared vision that led to the implementation of this safety approach by incorporating Manabotix’s advanced Bund Monitoring system.

With innovation and safety at the core of MacKellar’s client service, this project involved balancing communication, teamwork and resource allocation.

This bund monitoring technology was initially trialed at the Jellinbah Group site and is now available on request on MacKellar’s water truck fleet.

Real Time Solutions for Monitoring Bunds

The bund monitoring employed on MacKellar’s water truck fleet offers real time information to enhance decision making, to prevent accidents and to boost site safety.

With access to evaluations of bund compliance including roadside angles and heights directly from our vehicles, our team members are empowered to make prompt well informed choices to maintain high safety standards.

Imagine a world where safety isn’t just a priority but ingrained into every aspect of operations.

As progress continues to inspire change in the mining industry, MacKellar emerges as a leader in setting new safety benchmarks and inspiring a culture where safety and efficiency go hand in hand.

Keep an eye out for updates on how MacKellar Group is shaping the future of safety through technology, one innovation at a time.
