A growing number of mining companies are implementing state-of-the-art technology to gain an edge on haul road quality control and take the guess work out of road maintenance. Proof Engineers’ engineering and technologies manager Jordan Handel said an increasing number of mining companies were seeking out new technologies to simplify processes and increase productivity while reducing maintenance costs.
A ground-breaking innovation to monitor haul road conditions has been demonstrated by researchers to have the potential to revolutionize the mining industry.
The Haul Road Optimisation Alliance provide complete haul road management including site assessment, design, construction, road surface friction assessment and profiling, automated water truck spray systems, remotely monitored water assets, dust suppression and road stabilisation, real time haul road dust and condition monitoring, and specialised training.
Proof Engineers in association with Australia’s leading dust solution company Reynolds Soil Technologies (RST) have designed an innovative mobile dust monitor with the assistance of three Griffith University students.
