What to know locally in Welkom
Mines around Welkom and Virginia ask for headgear inspections, tailings dam wall monitoring and stockpile volumes. Old mine land near Odendaalsrus and Allanridge is mapped for rehabilitation and new uses. Filming birds at Flamingo Pan needs distance and care, so the flamingos are not disturbed. Ask the operator for a sample inspection report, and whether they have worked to a mine's induction and permit system before.
Welkom from the air
Welkom was built for the Free State goldfields, and mining still shapes its drone work. Mines ask for headgear and shaft inspections, tailings dam monitoring and stockpile volumes, while old mine land is mapped for rehabilitation and new uses. Pans around town, such as Flamingo Pan, draw birdlife filming. Farms on the surrounding grassland want crop surveys. Summer brings thunderstorms and lightning, while winter days are dry and cold with dust off the tailings. Welkom has a local airport, so check airspace before flying near it. Many operators also serve Odendaalsrus, Virginia and Riebeeckstad.
Typical drone light shows requests in the area come from:
- Mines, plants and utilities: product launches and company anniversaries with brand shapes drawn in light
- Municipalities, schools and NGOs: smoke-free New Year, heritage day and city celebrations in place of fireworks
- Farmers and growers: a drone show at a wine farm festival, harvest celebration or agricultural show
