PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: WILSHAW ESCAPEWAYS – UNMATCHED SINCE 1990
In May 1990, Wilshaw and Byrnecut developed, designed, certified and supplied the first modular galvanized escapeway underground into Bounty Gold Mine - a world first.
As the original developer, designer and installer, we know them inside-out – literally. We know what we’re doing, and we do it damn well - if we do say ourselves!
But more importantly, so do our clients.
Check out the video that shows how - our 110m escapeway, installed in two shifts – job done.
