Weatherzone’s Blast Dispersion Modelling is a comprehensive weather, environmental and alerting system, enabling you to run simulations days in advance.
Entirely customised to your mining site, our dispersion services take precise weather forecasts, topography, pollutants and legislative requirements into account, leaving no stone unturned.
As simulations are run, you can visualise the trajectory and intensity of pollutants in relation to the local forecast and pre-set thresholds. Dust monitors and Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) heighten forecast accuracy. With a clear, projected outcome you can pin-point the best day to blast.
Our cloud-based, fully auditable report trails assist you in fulfilling your license and legislative requirements. As blasts are executed supervisors and managers can add their pre and post blast observations to ensure requirements are met.
Let us help you make your critical decisions on when to blast, simple.
When in-depth consideration of the surrounding towns and environment is required, you need to be precise in your projections. Powered by Opticast™, Weatherzone’s advanced nowcasting and forecasting system, you can rest assured that reliability and accuracy are the bedrock for our dispersion modelling. Results are globally proven to give you peace of mind.
Environmental and weather monitoring are brought to you by the experts in meteorology, with a globally proven track record.
All data for your environmental observations and blast simulations are intelligently presented to keep full comprehension simple.
Clean and informative reports on both blast simulations and executed blasts give you an auditable trail, keeping you compliant.
An integrated Fume Management Zone (FMZ) tool adds to the depth of your blast planning. A logical traffic light system indicates whether your simulated blast creates pollutants that are above or below pre-set thresholds at any ‘virtual’ or existing monitors. You can create FMZs within the system, making it simple to plan and mitigate against risk. All these details are easily visualised in clean and informative reports, allowing you to justify your decision making on when to blast.
Your needs are as individual as your business, and we collaborate with you to bring ease to your every day. Our teams of meteorologists and data scientists are there, every step of the way, to help you navigate your challenges.
We don’t do status quo, choosing instead to lead with next-generation science and a service tailored to you.
Sea surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean suggest that a negative phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) may be emerging, which could influence Australian weather patterns in the coming months. What is the Indian Ocean Dipole? The IOD is an index that measures the difference in sea surface temperatures across the tropical Indian Ocean. […]
Australia will endure a dynamic mix of extreme weather this week, with intense thunderstorms generating destructive winds in multiple states and record-challenging heat in the outback. Thunderstorms Thunderstorms will occur over part of Australia every day this week as a series of troughs and low pressure systems pass over the country, with a particularly nasty […]
An unseasonably hot airmass will linger across parts of southern Australia next week, with temperatures set to reach the 40s across Australia’s interior and the low 30s in some capital cities. Heat has been building over northern Australia during the opening weeks of spring, with severe heatwave conditions impacting those living in the north during the […]
Spring has been a stormy season for large areas of WA, with another few big storm days ahead in the Pilbara and Kimberley region. Merely a week ago, widespread thunderstorms lashed the interior of WA, with Weatherzone’s Total Lightning Network detecting 605,166 lightning strikes on Wednesday, October 2. Thunderstorms are again forecast over the coming […]
