BUSINESS CHALLENGE New Acland has faced pressure to meet strict noise requirements. There have been several challenges to meet the community expectations over 11 years. The New Hope Group have invested heavily in solutions to meet requirements. They have also focused on public relations initiatives to educate the community on how they are meeting and exceeding these expectations. MINETEK has been able to support New Acland through this journey, allowing operations to run sustainably both day and night through the life of the mine.

SOUND ATTENUATION SOLUTION
CHOOSING MINETEK The New Hope Group researched the market and spoke with many sites utilising sound suppression solutions. Reputation, quality, and proven results were paramount to the New Acland team. The sensitive nature of this operation meant it was critical to select an established provider, who would ensure compliance against the stringent community and mining operation standards. Mining machines operate in onerous conditions, so the New Acland Team conducted site visits to several mining operations using MINETEK solutions prior to their selection. MINETEK were endorsed as an innovative solution provider in this specialised field.
