Vehicle and haulage restraint systems

Vehicles transported to site on truck haulage beds must be appropriately restrained to the bed and restraint systems must comply with the Heavy Vehicle National Law and Load Restraint Guide. Advitech can provide clients with guidelines for appropriate and compliant restraints.

Radio Frequency RF propagation survey identifies dead spots

To identify the factors causing performance issues of the wireless mesh network, Acubis conducted a radio frequency (RF) propagation survey. Analysis from the site survey revealed multiple causes contributing to dead spots and shadowing which resulted in loss of data and voice connectivity in specific site locations.

Send in the drones

Inspection of assets by drone avoids the constraints of working at heights, such as time, expense, risk and compliance issues.

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.

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.

Predictive Site Survey achieves excellent results

Mine sites are continually moving and opening new pits, sending drills, dump trucks and excavators to new territory and often, into black spots. In mining, every millisecond counts, so maintaining…

Driving success for business safety

Novecom’s smart radar system – Intercepta – provided a Brisbane manufacturing logistics provider with a means to reduce speeding events on its site and improve personnel safety as a result. Interceptas intelligent software provided advanced analytics and customised reports to support HSE managers to monitor compliance and improve safety.

Process safety audits of water processing facilities

Advitech’s process engineers conducted process safety audits for a large water utility. Numerous process safety gaps were identified ranging from simple fixes to possible major environmental issues arising from inadequate chemical storage. Advitech’s recommendations and implementation program identified practical solutions to improve efficiency and enhance process safety across the organisation.

Going with the flow: upgrading the ventilation system for Australia’s largest aluminium smelter

Advitech’s process engineers assisted Tomago Aluminium with smelter ventilation and pollution abatement issues. Our computer flow model enabled the design of a potline ventilation system which is flexible, stable and balanced, giving our client more control over their production line and better able meet their environmental protection obligations.

Heritage management for Hunter Expressway

Advitech managed all aspects of Aboriginal and historic heritage management for a $1.7 billion expressway construction project.
