Respiratory disease cause by airborne particulates and exposure to carcinogenic dust is still an issue at mine sites.

Towards zero harm. Follow this brief guide to learn about cabin air quality management from Breathe Safe.

Australian mining is a cyclical industry that is prone to boom or bust. It is an industry that requires investing wisely and looking at all available options when considering the set-up of a new plant or attempting to reduce costs in a brownfield operation.

East West Insurance Brokers (EWIB) has intimate knowledge of the Australian mining industry, recognising its vital contribution to the country’s economy.

Protecting electrical components from airborne mine dust is paramount as abrasive and corrosive dusts cause irreversible damage. Critical components must be maintained cool to avoid costly repairs.

Learn how FieldSense technology lets you make reliable voltage measurements faster, safer and easier. Fluke engineers have developed and are patenting a new technology called FieldSense that improves on the open fork functionality by performing not only ac current but also ac voltage and frequency measurements. Voltage and current measurements can be made on one device at the same … Continue reading Measure voltage without test leads with Fluke’s world first FieldSense technology →

Every single major mining project requires an extremely thorough understanding and estimation of the contained resources and reserves. With ever improving technology and cutting-edge mining software solutions, geologists, engineers and upper management can better understand their resources and projects, leading to more accurate, precise and cost-efficient operations.

In early 2017 Cornwall Resources was setting up an exploration department ahead of a 7,000m diamond drill program and chose to implement MICROMINE’s exploration and mine design solution Micromine across its operations.

Recessed chamber and membrane plate filter presses are gaining more popularity in the coalfields. The systems are used to dewater fine refuse that would traditionally be pumped to a thickener and eventually to an impoundment or settling pond. Instead, the dry cake produced by the filter press can be backfilled into the pit. This is … Continue reading Improved dewatering techniques instead of impounding coal fines →

With so many electrodes on the market, selecting the right one for the job can be challenging. Choosing poorly can result in increased spatter levels, cracking and an overall problematic welding technique. Welding Industries of Australia’s (WIA) Austarc 16TC, Australia’s number one best-selling electrode, features reduced spatter levels, high operator appeal and a low hydrogen … Continue reading The choice of professional welders →
