Drone videos from Western Australia #1 Bannockburn pipeline

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi all,

I've recently joined steemit and I love the idea!

One of my recent interests is aerial surveying and I want to share with you some of my work. I am sure that some of you may find it interesting!

We recently finished building a 36 km water pipeline out in the goldfields in Western Australia. This particular pipeline was to source additional water supply so the Thunderbox gold production plant could produce more gold. It sources water from the old Bannockburn mine pit that was abandoned about ten years ago after a cyclone came through and destroyed everything (rain from the surrounding areas drains into the big pit). The end of the pipeline is the Thunderbox mine water dam (not shown).

Without further ado here's the video!

Along the way you'll see a few features:

  • The abandoned Bannockburn mine pit
  • The pontoons where the water is picked up into the pipeline
  • Stages of construction of the first pump station
  • Parts of the pipeline both above- and below- ground
  • The second pump station at the midway point
  • The active Thunderbox mine pit

Please let me know what you think in the comments below.
Going forward I'd like to share more videos with you on a regular basis!

I am one to suggestions, so if you have any special requests for this part of the world, please post and let me know!

Until next time,

-Steve
