Haul Truck Early Fault Detection

THE OUTCOME

After noticing the degradation of the tyres, the truck was sent for repairs where maintenance personnel found a cut to the tyre sidewall. The workshop was able to repair the tyre before the damage became catastrophic.

• VROC notified operations personnel of the issue 24 hrs before the truck was sent for repairs
• Minimal downtime was experienced (and was a planned activity)
• Repairs conducted as a planned activity with both Operations and Maintenance aware of the requirements
• The tyre was repaired and the truck put back into service without any major disruption to operations
• Estimated savings of $45,000 for this incident + lost production
