We're back with Thiess, a global mine services contractor, to explore Lake Vermont, another one of their operations in Queensland, Australia.
Like all the other mines in the Bowen Basin, Lake Vermont produces coal using an enormous fleet of excavators, trucks, and other machines.
But while most other mines use primarily trucks and shovels, Lake Vermont leverages what they call a dozer push to move large quantities of overburden. And these aren't just any dozers-they're autonomous.

Happy to be part of crews doing this stuff
Great show, Aaron. Thanks for sharing and taking us along. Have a great weekend!!
I like how the remote operator still wears PPE, surprised the company doesn’t make them have a helmet and glasses too.
They may also have to head out in the field and run the tractors from time to time. They're still on site
With dozers being very efficient why do they choose to switch to excavator & truck with so much overburden left above the coal.
The coal seam is never uniform "flat" so humans are needed to distinguish the difference between pay and overburden
@@nunyabizzness6468 Makes sense
Time. Slow
truck and excavator is a lot more flexible. You have to have just the right conditions for the dozer push to make sense
@@AaronWitt 👍
We got Avatar Bulldozers before GTA 6
Thank you for making this type of videos. All men were boys at one point. Most men still have the boy like imagination and always have wanted to operate heavy machinery!!
thank you for watching!!
15:35 with all the mentioning of efficiency and uptime, I'm now wondering why in shots like these seemingly only half the time all 5 dozers move at once.
Autonomy has alot to do with money aswell they just label it efficiency so no one has a sook, instead of paying 5 operators 120 or 130k a year they pay 2, yes these systems cost alot but they make that back considering they don't have 5 people to worry about anymore, same goes with the trucks they run them 24/7 for "efficiency" but most of them are flogged out sitting on the dead line 😂
ironically our drones were messing with the connection. But we didn't realize it until we were on another side in Germany where the same thing was happening
Watching your content is a true journey into the world of magic. Thanks for the expedition!😄😄😄 2 🎽*
Great video
😂looks like bots got here before i did. Fun content by the way
Why do they stop 1 to 2 meters above the coal seam if the dozer is the cheapest way to strip off the material?
need an excavator and operator to get down to the coal without wasting any
More aussi stuff
I assume that refueling these machines is still done the old fashion way.... Autonomous refueling?
How do the dozers get refuelled?
I work on a minesite with manual dozers but id imagine the process would be the same. They have a truck that acts as a mobile petrol station, they drive that truck out to the dozers and pump fuel into them when needed. They do the same with the excavators and drills
@@JordanPoplawskiThank you for stating the obvious
