An illustrative 3D model of a field-service site at a mine: an excavator parked on a hardstand for service, a mobile crane lifting a hydraulic cylinder off it, a scaffold at its engine deck, a welder at its bucket, removed components on parts mats, a site office with a crew at a toolbox talk, a tool container and a service truck. Flags name six kinds of work; the card shows photos of each from Akaliko sites.
