More project experience
Tomingley Gold Mine Water Management
Alkane Resources
Hydrologic studies including flood assessment, sediment basin design, site water balance study, water supply reliability assessment, storage dam sizing, and development of water management strategies and plans.
Burton Coal Mine
Integrated Operation Water and Salt Balance Model; Peabody
Conceptualisation, preparation and calibration of a GoldSIM water and salt balance model with a site 'dashboard' interface, covering the Burton, Ellensfield, Wallanbah, Broadmeadow and Plumtree mine areas to support site water management and Environmental Authority obligations.
Hunter River Salinity Modelling
Office Water / State Water
Developed a real-time forecasting model providing estimates of flows and salinity loads to alert power generators and mining companies when they could release saline water under the Hunter River Salinity Trading Scheme.
Penrith Lakes Water Balance Study
Penrith Lakes Development Corporation (consortium of mining companies)
Developed a daily water balance model for 11 large lakes (735ha surface area, 40,000ML storage) formed by a sand mining operation, determining fill times after mining ceases and additional makeup water requirements for suitable water level variation.
