Mining and resources
Open-cut and underground operations running blast, vibration, noise, dust and water monitoring under state EPA and mining lease conditions.
Benchmark Monitoring designs, builds and operates the monitoring networks that open-cut and underground mines run for licence conditions, mining lease commitments and community reporting.
A typical mining program covers:
- Blast overpressure, vibration and air blast, with every event captured and reported.
- Noise at boundary and receiver locations, including night-time limits.
- Dust and particulate levels, including real-time PM10 and PM2.5 used to trigger dust controls.
- Water quality and discharge, against licence limits.
- Meteorology, so dust and noise results can be read against the conditions that produced them.
Built for site conditions
Stations are engineered and assembled in-house for Australian mine sites: solar power, remote telemetry, and SMS or email alarms that keep working where mains power and site networks do not reach.
Data regulators accept
Readings are validated, checked against the site's limits and reported in the format the regulator and the community expect. Exceedances raise an alert as they happen rather than at the end of the month.
More than 400 sites are monitored across Australia, from single stations through to complete compliance networks, with more than 150 real-time blast monitoring sites on the east and west coasts.
