Thiess’ Mount Owen team has taken a proactive approach to environmental management to ensure dust, noise and blasting emission impacts are minimised on local communities.
Working together with the client, Glencore, the team has developed a range of controls including leadership training and education sessions, noise and dust risk forecasting, targeted sound power testing of operating equipment and real-time monitoring technology.
Thiess Senior Environment Advisor, Linda Lunnon, said the real-time data enables its operational team to monitor dust and noise levels and respond swiftly to changing weather conditions.
“Paired with regular visual inspections, the technology provides further guidance throughout each shift, enabling our leaders to readily modify operations as needed,” Lunnon said.
