Welkom notes on parts, training & hire
Spare propellers and batteries are worth keeping, as repairs often go to Bloemfontein. Dust in Thabong and around the tailings clogs motors, so clean after each day. Mine staff can train for an RPL through Free State schools. Hire suits short inspection jobs in Allanridge or Hennenman that need a thermal drone for a few days.
Drones in Welkom
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.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Mines, plants and utilities: a stock of wear parts for a fleet of inspection drones
- Municipalities, schools and NGOs: FPV kits and spare parts for school and college drone clubs
- Farmers and growers: spare propellers and arms kept on the farm for the work drones
