Horizon Power has successfully completed a 12-month trial testing technology to facilitate two-way charging of electric vehicles (EVs). The Exmouth trial demonstrated that Horizon Power's vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology has the potential to manage the two-way flow of energy from EVs charging and discharging into the power network, while ensuring stability…

Construction workers, engineers and architects in Australia are experiencing a sector shift. The urgency for decarbonisation and sustainability is driving the next era of eco-friendly operations — the circular economy. It is gaining momentum amid the nation’s strained labour circumstances and rising material costs. How are corporations responding to the…

Commercial construction workers in Australia are implementing numerous solutions to make efforts more environmentally conscious. This includes changing the composition of the materials you are most familiar with. What can tradies in the sector anticipate as components attempt to promote longer lifespans and enhanced structural integrity? Sustainable concrete and cement…

The modern building industry has achieved new heights in productivity and efficiency. However, this improvement has also come with a massive demand for raw materials, putting a heavy strain on the planet’s natural resources. The scale of resource extraction in the building industry The construction sector requires a lot of…

Australia builds through heat, storm seasons and long supply lines. Due to climate change, the weather also swings harder and more often, so safety planning needs the same discipline as structure and services. Crews still pour slabs, stand frames and rig cranes — but the risk profile keeps shifting with…

Adopting digital tools to manage mining tailings brings significant benefits in safety and sustainability performance. As technologies continue to mature, they offer the promise of transforming how tailings facilities are monitored and managed, ultimately paving the way for safer mining operations and better protection of the environment and communities affected…

Improperly maintained or abandoned fuel and chemical storage tanks can pose serious safety and environmental risks, including potential explosions and contamination of soil and groundwater. Most mining sites use self-bunded fuel tanks, which, with regular maintenance, can prevent costly fuel leaks and avoid substantial clean-up expenses mandated by environmental legislation.…

Demand for electric solutions in the mining industry is being driven by increasingly stringent emissions regulations and high fuel costs, creating a move away from diesel engines to electric or hybrid equipment in the mining industry. Many mining-focused OEMs are investing in eco friendly vehicle options that consume less fuel…
