Prominent Hill Mine Igloo’s reskin

Australia has a total area of 7,688 million km² and is the world’s flattest and driest inhabited continent. Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world, meaning some areas are truly remote. Working in these remote, hot, and dry parts of Australia brings challenges. Prominent Hill Mine is located 650 km north-west of Adelaide and produces one of the world’s highest grades of copper concentrate. Sky Skills Industries Pty Ltd was happy to travel to assist with reskinning three igloos, which creates much-needed shade. Despite the challenges of working in that environment, the BHP Major Maintenance Lead Engineer and Superintendent commended Sky Skills for navigating unforeseen obstacles, staying on schedule without compromising safety or quality, and for outstanding resilience and teamwork. Sky Skills is honoured to get feedback like that and will always strive to exceed expectations.
