Planned work between shutdowns
Not every job waits for a shutdown. We schedule major planned work to suit your operation, and components due for overhaul can be rebuilt ahead of time through our Component Rebuild Centre so exchange units are ready when the window opens.
For ongoing coverage, our labour hire service places trades at your site for as long as you need them.

Can you support Cobar region sites?
Yes. HES has expanded into the Cobar region to support mines with their maintenance, including shutdown work.
