DTN APAC’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™, DTN APAC’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.
Rain and thunderstorms are expected to spread over heatwave affected parts of northern India and Pakistan in the coming days, bringing much needed relief to people and infrastructure. Northwest India and Pakistan have been scorched by intense heat reaching well into the 40s over the past two weeks. The capital of India, New Delhi, had […]
The Pacific and Indian Ocean climate drivers remain in a neutral phase, with weather around Australia continuing to be dominated by more local effects. Pacific Ocean climate driver The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has returned to a truer neutral phase, after trending towards a La Niña-like phase during summer. Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) across […]
An outbreak of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms will impact Victoria and NSW over the coming long weekend. As seen in the synoptic image below, this outbreak of storms and wet weather will be caused by a broad low pressure trough and cold front. Image: Synoptic image for Friday, 25 April. As the weekend goes […]
A heatwave scorching northern India over at least the next seven days will place a tremendous strain on people and infrastructure. The images below show the concerning heating pattern taking hold of India’s north as the week progresses. Maximum temperatures are shown reaching the low to mid 40s on Wednesday, April 23 (top image), the […]
