Coal Intelligence · Bengalla

Hazards & Environment

Principal hazard management plans, critical control verification and TARP status, with dust, noise, blasting and water monitoring measured against consent limits.

Demonstration data. 100% of the production, quality, rail, CHPP and dragline records are DEMO records, not site data. Volumes are calibrated to public New Hope figures for Bengalla; shift-level detail is generated. Connect site systems (fleet management, LIMS, CHPP historian, rail scheduling) to replace it.
