Improve environmental excellence
A large mining company in South America operates a mine that is close to major towns with noise sensitive communities. The mining operation wanted to stay ahead of the curve, proactively manage noise to optimise production and foster good relationship with the communities and regulators.
Challenges:
- To understand noise emissions from the mining operation and assess its impacts on the surrounding communities.
- Minimise the risk of non-compliance during the planning phase and improve production due to equipment standdown.
- Improve social license to operate and comply with the local noise regulations
Solution:
Vanguard Technologies were engaged by the mine to make improvements on the exisitng noise technolgy and we supplied a complete Nexus solution to compliment the system. Nexus was able to integrate noise, fleet management system, weather forcast and other operational data from the mine to overcome the identified challenges and thus helping the mine better plan production and identify moving sources.
Outcomes:
The mine was able to use Nexus and make improvements to its operation with advanced planning and the real-time decision to adaptively change its operation to avoid noise breaches and engage with the communities effectively.
