Participants will enjoy four dedicated challenge zones, within a session of two hours duration.
Upon arrival, visitors will sign in at the Dig IT site office and attend site safety induction training. All necessary safety equipment will be provided for each activity, including a high-visibility vest and hard hat.
At the first challenge zone (The Dig IT Zone) participants will learn how to operate a 1.7 tonne excavator. With these newly acquired skills, they will knock over towers with a wrecking ball (The Demolition Zone) and hook a crocodile (The Croc Zone).
The final challenge (RC Zone) will allow participants to operate 1.14 true scale, fully hydraulic machines. These will include dozers, dump trucks, excavators and rear loaders.
