Proof Engineers Joins Haul Road Optimisation Alliance
1 June 2015 - haul road improvement -
GOLD Coast-based engineering company Proof Engineers has joined three other industry leaders to become a founding member of the Haul Road Optimisation Alliance.
Proof Engineers will help to deliver high quality and safe roads to create productivity gains, improved operating conditions, reduced operational costs and achievable environmental compliance.
The four companies forming the Haul Road Optimisation Alliance provide complete haul road management including site assessment, design, construction, road surface friction assessment and profiling, automated water truck spray systems, remotely monitored water assets, dust suppression and road stabilisation, real time haul road dust and condition monitoring, and specialised training.
Other founding members are RoadSafety Training Services, Australian Diversified Engineering and Reynolds Soil Technologies.
Proof Engineers works on projects around the world that improve haul road design, construction, maintenance programs, dust remediation and auditing systems.
The company specialises in maintenance machinery management, and design and construction with stabilisation additives.
General manager Fiorella Ignacio said the Haul Road Optimisation Alliance was formed due to a demand for new ways to improve mining operations and haul roads.
"We are collaborating to help miners meet the requirements for environmental compliance while ensuring their haul roads are as safe and productive as possible," Mrs Ignacio said.
"We have removed barriers so we can work together, which means products and processes that used to be thought of as separate issues can now be developed simultaneously as a comprehensive haul road management program.
"We also provide training and put in place monitoring and data collection systems to ensure that operational optimisation is ongoing."
