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.
Port and maritime operations across Australia’s East Coast could be disrupted by increased tropical cyclone activity in the Coral Sea and southwest Pacific Ocean over the next two weeks. Meteorologists reference a large selection of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models to forecast weather. A number of these NWP models are forecasting the development of tropical […]
Hot, dry and windy weather causing elevated fire danger and severe heatwave conditions are sweeping across southeastern Australia over the next three days, driving high energy demand and disruption to operations. Clear skies associated a large and slow-moving high pressure system have allowed hot air to build up over parts of northern, western and central […]
The Australian and New Zealand Council for fire and emergency services (AFAC) identified western and southern WA, Victoria and inland NSW as key regions that are at risk of heightened bushfire risk this summer. Parts of Australia have experienced severe soil moisture and rainfall deficiencies over the past months and years, while high fuel loads […]
Three tropical cyclones: Senyar, Koto and Ditwah, have brought widespread deadly flooding to parts of southeast Asia over the past week, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. Extensive disruptions to industries, government and communities is expected as the rescue, clean up and recovery extend over the coming months. Senyar brings devastation to […]
