Environmental data management software for mining: reducing environmental impact

Environmental data management software (EDMS) is becoming increasingly important in mining. EDMS is a vital tool to help operators manage and track environmental data. It helps mining companies better understand their operations’ impact on the environment and make better decisions about how to protect it best. Mining companies can improve safety, reduce waste, and save money by tracking environmental data. EDMS can save time by automating tasks such as data entry, tracking changes, and sharing information with other stakeholders. Additionally, EDMS can help mine managers make informed decisions about their operations. The software allows mining companies to communicate with the public about their environmental practices.

Mining Operations are subject to strict environmental and health operating standards and collect extensive surface water, groundwater, dust and air data stretching for years or decades.

Mining operations typically need to demonstrate to the local community and regulators that they are properly managing this data, can identify trends, and are alert to any issues. Mining operations must also produce annual compliance reports, demonstrating that monitoring has occurred and the mine is compliant.

EScIS has extensive experience providing ESdat implementations for Mining Operations to meet these requirements. A typical Mining implementation of ESdat comprises historical data imports, setup of field data collection programs, laboratory and logger data integration, public data portals, regulatory compliance reports, and training.

Metro Mining, for example, was seeking a centralized data collection/storage solution, enabling visibility of data trends to guide and assess corrective actions. The key focus was managing and reporting laboratory data and field data collected during sampling events.

Metro Mining is an Australian exploration and mining company which commenced mining operations at its flagship project, the Bauxite Hills Mine, 95 km north of Weipa in western Cape York, in April 2018.

Metro Mining conducts surface water and groundwater environmental monitoring to meet operating licence conditions and drinking water and sewage treatment analysis.

The intuitive interface of ESdat Online has resulted in a rapid uptake within Metro’s operations. Automated lab report import ensures results are captured efficiently and completely. Data of interest is easily presented in tables, graphs or maps for interpretation. New data is easily compared with historical data imported as a part of the implementation.
