Engineering Behind Australia s Gigantic Coal Industry | Mega Mechanics | Spark

On today’s episode of Mega Mechanics: the dangers on a high wind, deconstruction project. One misstep could bring the mighty coal service conveyer belt to a standstill, and it’s up to the mechanical fitters to keep it moving. A sticky situation at the Rocky Point Sugar Mill calls from a quick fix from a hydraulic specialist. Across Australia, the wheels of industry turn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These machines are tough and the teams of people running them are even tougher. From deep underground, to high in the sky, these heavy metal marvels are essential to our daily lives. But, what happens when these massive machines break down? Teams of mechanics, engineers, fitters, and boilermakers step up to battle against tight deadlines, in some of the harshest working environments on the planet.
