BENCHMARK MONITORING| Capabilities

Employment of best practice instruments, engineering of tailored solutions and rigorous maintenance ensures ongoing high measurement quality is achieved and the highest level of valid data is available to our clients.  

Our systems function as autonomous platforms for collection of a wide range of environmental data components which are customised to client needs. Our pursuit of engineering excellence in design delivers systems that can operate under extreme environmental conditions with reliability and certainty of measurement.

Benchmark Monitoring provide best practice air quality monitoring solutions. Our complete air quality monitoring services, including ambient and continuous emissions monitoring, are performed in accordance with standards and guidelines to meet regulatory requirements.

Our provision of complete turnkey environmental monitoring systems includes design, fabrication, installation, commissioning, ongoing operation and maintenance and data management services. Benchmark personnel also specialise in industrial communication solutions for ease of integration of monitoring systems into SCADA and DCS systems to satisfy both environmental and process applications.

Benchmark Monitoring offer a fully integrated Dust Management Package enabling real time site meteorology and particulate data to be used to inform automatic implementation of dust management measures to meet Site Management Plan Air Quality Objectives.

Benchmark Monitoring provides bespoke real-time noise monitoring systems developed with a focus on long-term environmental compliance applications and industrial noise policy needs. Omni and directional noise monitoring solutions have been designed for two specific streams; event based monitoring for applications such as rail, road or heavy industry noise episodes and long-term background monitoring.

Our systems have process engines and web based data portals that are fully customizable to meet client specific noise monitoring needs. Systems can be configured for alarming and upon exceedance of a user defined threshold statistical metrics, audio and visual files may be generated.

The Benchmark Monitoring Kaboom system offers a turnkey air blast and vibration monitoring solution available for both mining and construction applications. Kaboom continuously measures the vibration and air blast at a high sampling frequency. Employing the latest data acquisition technology, on board digital processing and wireless communications Kaboom provides superior measurement resolution and data quality over conventional hardware.

Each Kaboom field monitoring unit provides data that is transmitted to the Benchmark web portal that can be accessed remotely via the web.  The Benchmark Monitoring web based Blast Permissions Tool continuously uses real time high frequency site meteorological data combined with a set of site specific user defined rules to inform mine site staff of the suitability of the current meteorology for blasting operations. Developed for managing both mine blasting and haul truck dumping management the tool can be tailored to meet site requirements.

Benchmark Monitoring offer complete water discharge monitoring systems, which are designed in accordance to Hunter River Salinity Trading scheme and Office of Water best practices.  Benchmark Monitoring water level and water quality monitoring stations are constructed to meet environmental monitoring industry standards and are tailored to meet site water management and compliance requirements.

Our water monitoring stations can be customized to meet project requirements and include portal display of data, alarm notifications and remote control of sites. Our robust data acquisition systems offer capacity for future expansion and stations that are capable of automatic water sampling with event activated measurements that may be linked to alarm and SMS services for field staff intervention. We also offer discharge channel and weir design services.  

Benchmark Monitoring meteorological monitoring solutions offer flexibility of design and engineering excellence to meet client and regulatory requirements. Real-time meteorological monitoring data is essential during planning and operation of mining and heavy industry projects. Our staff can customize a meteorological monitoring package to include telemetry, data reporting and web based services to suit your specific needs.

Our meteorological services include real time monitoring to inform our dust management package combing real time meteorology and dust measurements for automatic activation of dust control measures and the Blast Permissions Tool which continually analyses the real time meteorology and site specific rules to provide clear guidance on the suitability of conditions for blasting. 

Benchmark Monitoring provide project services for all aspects of environmental monitoring, including complete project management, from conception through to ongoing operation and maintenance of monitoring programs and data services.
