Projects

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.

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.
