Great Western Highway Upgrade Geotechnical Investigation, NSW, Australia
Australia’s longest road tunnel at 11kms long, this project is located near the Blue Mountains Region of NSW. When completed, the $2.5Billion project will form the main road corridor between Central Western NSW and the Sydney Region. Over 100 boreholes were drilled with some fitted with VWPs and others with monitoring wells, EWS Well-Caps and VWT devices were installed and are providing critical remote data over Iridium satellite connectivity for the geotechnical investigation.
Argyle Diamond Mine Surface Water Monitoring, Western Australia
Mine site operation and closure is contingent on a large amount of environmental monitoring to ensure regulatory compliance and minimise the overall human impact on surrounding areas/ecosystems. In this particular example, Remote Surface Water Monitoring was contracted to EWS Australia for the extent of closure operations (5 years) and long-term (10 years) into the overall maintenance phase following the mines successful closure.
Surface Water Monitoring and Flood Warning System, Mt Isa, Queensland
A copper and gold mining operation near Mt Isa in Queensland, Australia required a reliable remote monitoring system to provide near real-time meteorological data, surface water data, and flood warning alerts from areas of the mines catchment. EWS Iridium Satellite Telemetry devices were paired with level sensors, rain gauges and weather stations and installed for long-term monitoring.
