Alkane Mining Project
The brief was to install traffic light systems and over height safety detection for Alkane open cut gold mine. The operation was to run solely on renewable energy, The comparison cost savings of solar verses grid power was more than halved in timing and construction cost.
- Traffic light system that is to operate and gives priority to loaded dump trucks leaving the open cut pit on the east side through the use of standalone solar and radar sensors.
- A second system brief was for oversize/over height loaded dump trucks approaching the underpass which has a maximum height of 8.5m clearance. The safety height barrier is to have a maximum loaded height clearance of 7.5m for dump trucks entering from the east side.
