Nexus

Introducing a Next Gen in

Predictive Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence Platform

Predictive Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence is a data-driven, next-generation approach to environmental noise and dust management. It uses Large Environmental Noise and Dust Models (LENDM), combined with extensive datasets and spatial analytics, to determine exactly how much noise and dust from your operation is being received in nearby communities.

How Does Nexus Work

Nexus is an integrated noise management system that is intuitive, versatile, and user friendly. It combines noise modelling capability with operational, environmental, and noise monitoring data to predict noise in real time, thus providing valuable insights into your operations. Nexus software is installed on your server. All information is collated and stored in a central database for easy retrieval and reporting.

What Does Nexus Do?

Nexus seamlessly integrates with these types of datasets:

  • Fleet management system
  • Collision avoidance system
  • Continuous noise monitoring
  • Weather data
  • Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
  • GPS data
  • Marine, aircraft, and rail traffic data

Scheduler: Predict and Plan Activities with Confidence

Scheduler ensures that planned operations comply with noise limits and provides auditable evidence of this compliance. You can schedule activities at the right time and make operational decisions with confidence using noise prediction and weather forecast data. Scheduler is simple to use and outputs data immediately, effectively eliminating the need to base schedules, plans, and operations on what happened weeks or months ago.

Execute: Real-Time Noise Modelling and Management System

Execute provides instantaneous noise compliance feedback. It’s a real-time modelling tool that gives you a clear understanding of your noise emissions. This allows you to manage your operations in real time and adaptively change when circumstances such as weather and equipment change, to ensure your noise emissions always remain in compliance.

Real-time visibility also allows you to make strategic decisions, enhances risk assessment, and reduces the reporting burden by providing you with up-to-date, accurate data in an easy-to-use predictive analytics engine. 

Industries We Work With

Industrial

Industrial activities often produce high levels of noise that can have far-reaching effects. Managing this noise is crucial to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain positive community relations. By adopting our integrated noise modelling approach, industrial facilities can effectively manage noise impacts and contribute to a harmonious relationship with surrounding communities.

Ports

Ports are busy and dynamic environments, and their activities such as cargo handling, ship operations, and transportation can generate noise. Implementing real-time noise management into ports operations enhances community relations, ensures compliance with noise regulations and supports the overall efficiency and competitiveness of port activities.

Mining

There has been tremendous growth in the mining industry in using an integrated noise modelling approach as a management tool. Industry leaders want to be proactive and balance growth, and they need to comply with noise regulations and standards—using technologically advanced solutions helps them stay competitive and compliant.

Construction

Construction activities often generate significant amounts of noise that can affect nearby communities. Managing this noise is essential to comply with regulations and maintain positive relations with the surrounding environment. Construction companies use our solutions to effectively manage the impacts of noise and minimise disruptions to the community.
