DTN APAC, delivers the Flood Risk System (FRS) to provide flood risk visibility. You can now easily visualise precipitation, and access rapid-update forecasting, across multiple sections of your site with the FRS geofenced alerting system. Gain a more precise determination with DTN APAC’s advanced geospatial technology creating hundreds of virtual ‘weather stations’ for each monitored section or culvert.
Rainfall is measured across each of your established catchments, with alerting calibrated to their individual thresholds. Alerts are raised when thresholds for any section are approaching or have been breached. This gives you targeted risk visibility to inform your assessment, operational response and emergency management.
The FRS can be integrated into your existing DTN APAC interface, or your own monitoring and control systems. Real-time monitoring of each catchment’s predefined thresholds is coupled with forecasting of rain, so you can provide your team with the most up-to-date information on whether conditions will ease, continue, or worsen.
The FRS gives you an overview of every catchment on your site on one, easy-to-interpret API. Don’t waste time analysing complex water level and meteorological data. This monitoring system delivers local evaluation and notifications in real time, in a simple format that supports your situational awareness. Optimise your preparedness and proactive assessment with a clear overview of on-site conditions, both current and forecast.
Enhance measurement systems and heighten risk visibility by sharing the FRS rainfall monitoring data with a third party to integrate hydrology and culvert alerts for your site.
Protect your team with audible and visual advanced warnings delivered through the summary interface, as well as by SMS, email and our WeatherGuard app for those in the field.
Maintain flood risk awareness and improve communications with trusted local information, flood monitoring and alerts, and team-wide access to FRS data.
The FRS is driven by Oracle – our satellite-derived, gridded nowcasting system: forecasting at a 1-2km resolution and updating every 10 minutes. Oracle has the upper hand in capturing hyper-local temperature, lightning, cloud cover, wind and amount of rainfall for your location, no matter how remote. DTN APAC uses local and on-site weather stations to benchmark the radar system, helping remove model bias, and improving overall accuracy.
As your business integrates the FRS, it is trained to increase precision. Based on your feedback, catchment thresholds can be altered. If your business observes that the system may be under-playing or over-playing flood event risk based on information on site, we adjust accordingly. Alterations can be made quickly and, over time, the system can be continually optimised to flood conditions on-site.
Leonora, WA, had its wettest September day on record earlier this month. Three weeks later, more than 1.3 million lightning pulses were detected within 800 km of the town in 48 hours. Why is a stalled trough delivering storms to mining country, and what it could mean for operations? The DTN Total Lightning Network detected […]
A stubborn blocking high over southern Australia will make for a very quiet week for wind generation and the pattern behind it isn’t a one-off. It’s the seasonal signature of a super (very strong) El Niño combined with a positive Southern Annular Mode (SAM), and both the historical record and the current seasonal forecast suggest it’s likely to keep recurring through spring before a potential switch from November. The setup right […]
Australia’s Mining and Resources sectors are bracing for a wet season shaped by one of the most rapidly developing El Niño events on record. Looking back at how the strongest El Niño events in Australian history have played out, it becomes apparent that mining operations in Australia should be planning for a later monsoon […]
Australia just had its warmest winter on record across large parts of the country, and the mild weather produced the lowest gas output since 2004 and cut wholesale electricity prices nearly in half. Despite the unusually warm winter, demand hit a new NEM-wide winter record of 24,220 MW — but ample rooftop and grid solar meant the […]
