Weatherzoneās Blast Dispersion Modelling is a comprehensive weather, environmental and alerting system, enabling you to run simulations days in advance.
Entirely customised to your mining site, our dispersion services take precise weather forecasts, topography, pollutants and legislative requirements into account, leaving no stone unturned.
As simulations are run, you can visualise the trajectory and intensity of pollutants in relation to the local forecast and pre-set thresholds. Dust monitors and Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) heighten forecast accuracy. With a clear, projected outcome you can pin-point the best day to blast.
Our cloud-based, fully auditable report trails assist you in fulfilling your license and legislative requirements. As blasts are executed supervisors and managers can add their pre and post blast observations to ensure requirements are met.
Let us help you make your critical decisions on when to blast, simple.
When in-depth consideration of the surrounding towns and environment is required, you need to be precise in your projections. Powered by Opticastā¢, Weatherzoneās advanced nowcasting and forecasting system, you can rest assured that reliability and accuracy are the bedrock for our dispersion modelling. Results are globally proven to give you peace of mind.
Environmental and weather monitoring are brought to you by the experts in meteorology, with a globally proven track record.
All data for your environmental observations and blast simulations are intelligently presented to keep full comprehension simple.
Clean and informative reports on both blast simulations and executed blasts give you an auditable trail, keeping you compliant.

An integrated Fume Management Zone (FMZ) tool adds to the depth of your blast planning. A logical traffic light system indicates whether your simulated blast creates pollutants that are above or below pre-set thresholds at any āvirtualā or existing monitors. You can create FMZs within the system, making it simple to plan and mitigate against risk. All these details are easily visualised in clean and informative reports, allowing you to justify your decision making on when to blast.
Your needs are as individual as your business, and we collaborate with you to bring ease to your every day. Our teams of meteorologists and data scientists are there, every step of the way, to help you navigate your challenges.
We donāt do status quo, choosing instead to lead with next-generation science and a service tailored to you.
After months of warmer than average temperatures, southwest WA is seeing a colder than averageĀ week.Ā The mild beginning to the week in the southwest has been caused by cooler southwesterly winds behind a cold front which marched across the state on Monday.Ā Ā This comes after a warm October, with the average maximum temperature of 26.2°C, […]
October 2024 was Australia’s second-warmest October since comprehensive nationwide records were first kept in 1910. Temperatures across the country were 2.51°C above average in terms of what the BoM calls the “national area-averaged mean temperature” ā a term which simply means the average of daily maximums and minimums at hundreds of different weather stations across […]
A hot air mass will cause temperatures to soar across large areas of Australia this week, making the northern half of Australia one of the hottest places in the world. November is always a hot time of year in Australia as increasing intensity of the sun enhances solar heating across the continent. This hot weather […]
Australiaās climate is changing, with shifts in temperature, rainfall, wind, extreme fire weather and tropical cyclone activity being observed across the continent, according to the new State of the Climate report published this week. Ā The State of the Climate 2024 report was issued by the Bureau of meteorology and the CSIRO, which communicates the […]
