THE CHALLENGE

Ensuring Safe and Efficient Access to On-Site Pontoons

Saraji Mine required a safer and more efficient method for personnel to reach pontoons. Existing boat-based access created immersion hazards, increased staffing demands, and added delays through extended approval processes.

Immersion Risks During Access

Reaching the pontoons by boat exposed workers to potential immersion events, creating safety concerns that needed to be completely eliminated.

High Personnel Requirements

Boat access required additional safety personnel, increasing deployment complexity and operational effort for routine site activities.

Delays from Access Approvals

The approval process for boat-based travel added significant delays, affecting response times and overall operational efficiency.fa
