Simulation Training

Our simulation training centre features a unique and user-friendly training experience that allows mining operators to "sit in the driver's seat" of various mining machines in order to be trained efficiently and economically. The simulator encourages both new and experienced operators to gain added experience in a realistic, non-destructive environment.

At the heart of every mining simulator is a simulated cab, a highly realistic replica of the actual mining equipment, with fully functional instruments and controls. The cab is mounted on a motion platform and is surrounded by a 360 degree panoramic, high resolution projection display with surround sound audio. The operation of sub systems, including engines, braking systems, hydraulics, and drilling heads is mathematically modelled to the specifications of the original manufacturer in order to provide accurate feedback to the user. Operator observation vigilance and procedural knowledge is consistently tested to encourage skilled, safe, and productive operators.
