I work in industrial equipment & procurement for the mining/energy sector (based in Indonesia), and I'm trying to build a better understanding of experience and challenges on-site beyond what you read in reports or hear from management level.

If you're currently working (or have worked) at a coal or mineral mining site, operations, HSE, procurement, maintenance, doesn't matter which role, I'd love to hear your experience, especially around things like Weather-related disruptions (rain, flooding, etc.) and how the site handles them, Any recurring operational headaches that don't get enough attention

Happy to chat here in comments or DM if you're open to it. Genuinely just trying to learn from people who've actually been in the field. Thanks!

My late father prepped 25 sacks of coal for emergency end of times. His estate won’t be around too much longer so I’m trying to figure out what’s best to do with various stockpiles of stuff.

What to do with all this coal?

I wonder if a leading indicator for the west with the AI power consumption.

I built this watch (and a few others) centered on the Anthracite region of Pennsylvania and the Coal Mining community as a whole. The dial was made with layers of acrylic paint burned with a butane torch. Seiko Automatic movement powers the watch.
