SMS developed a simulation model of a complex raw coal transportation system to address bottlenecks and inadequate storage. Relatively minor infrastructure upgrades were recommended, avoiding anticipated new stockpiles or other major investment. The model was then available for ongoing use, to support decision making for other proposed projects and upgrades.

Engineering verification and functional safety at a renowned performance venue
Advitech was engaged by a staging equipment supplier to provide independent third party engineering design verification for their specialised hoisting and lifting equipment, as part of a major upgrade at a prominent Sydney opera and theatre venue.
Noise localisation – QuattroSound™ directional noise monitoring system
Novecom developed the Quattrosound Directional Monitoring System for an open cut coal mine operating in an area combining heavy industry and residential properties. The directional system helped the operator measure the relative contribution of various noise sources within the community, enabling a better understnadig of noise issues and how to reduce their noise impacts while optimising productivity.
Structural asset protection of ageing infrastructure
Advitech inspected and evaluated ageing infrastructure at a major coal-handling facility to determine design life, recommend steelwork rectification priorities and develop a regime for ongoing inspections and monitoring to protect operational integrity into the future.
