Maintenance
Serviced where the work is.
Equipment is maintained on site by BYM technicians. The photograph shows an excavator bucket being serviced in the pit at Beni.
Keeping maintenance on site means machines stay where the work is instead of leaving for a workshop. It is part of how BYM runs a semi-industrial operation with a small fleet.
