How Mining Teams Use It

Site Operations

Live radar at 5-minute intervals and the latest BoM forecasts support daily calls on blasting windows, haul road conditions and pit dewatering ahead of rain.

Water Management and Compliance

Rainfall records from surrounding gauge networks, with downloads, feed water-balance reporting and incident documentation.

Remote Sites

Coverage draws on BoM stations, river-rain networks and the DPIRD network in Western Australia. Where gauges are sparse, our rainfall estimation service can produce a site-specific estimate from the radar record.

Teams Across Sites

Organisation accounts cover planners, site supervisors and environment teams under one subscription and one invoice.
