Emapper - Booth 7

Emapper provides compliance driven mine site Rehabilitation Performance Metrics (RPM), through our web-enabled analytics platform http://www.minerpm.com/
​
We use the latest technology in drones and aerial imagery, combined with our expertise in mine closure, precision survey and remote sensing analysis to improve environmental outcomes. RPM analyses landform geometry, stability and vegetation across entire mine landscapes. The results are compared to the mine closure criteria and analogue (reference) sites for monitoring and reporting. The analysis is quantifiable and comparable to existing historical field data, meaning that legacy data can be integrated into the analysis. 

Through RPM we aim to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation through site wide monitoring and help our clients achieve decreases in time required to site relinquishment. It reduces the need for “boots-on-the ground”, providing cost-efficiency and increased safety for rehabilitation monitoring. 

Emapper and RPM give our clients the power to monitor and manage their environmental activities, impacts and outcomes. Join a growing list of organisations across mining, government, utilities, natural resource management and conservation that use Emapper to monitor and manage their environment.

CRC CARE was launched in 2005 as part of the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program and in 2011 successfully bid for a further nine years of funding. The CRC Programme supports industry-led collaborations between industry,
researchers and the community. It is a proven model for linking researchers with industry to focus on research and development towards use and commercialisation.

CRC CARE’s innovative research is divided into four complementary programs:
  1. Best Practice Policy: More effective, efficient and certain national policy for assessing and remediating contamination
  2. Better Measurement: More accurate, rapid, reliable and cost-effective measurement and assessment
  3. Minimising Uncertainty in Risk Assessment: New technology, methods and knowledge for assessing risks to human health and the environment
  4. Cleaning Up: Innovative clean-up technologies and a wider range of effective management options.
