Project Overview

Supplying First Class Equipment to the Mining Industry

During the last 40 years we have supplied mining companies in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain, Kenya, Mauretania, DRC, South Africa, Botswana and many other countries with equipment for soil and water monitoring. We have done this directly or by way of environmental consultants such as AECOM, SRK, ERM and many more.

As the years progressed there has been an ever increasing necessity for systems to acquire environmental ground and surface water data; solutions ranging from a simple dipmeter or water level logger to complex multi parameter telemetric networks.

Van Walt, with offices in the UK, Spain, New Zealand and South Africa is well recognised for the excellence of their products and services and they are widely recognised for their first class service and backup. Recently one of our customers wrote this:

We have been delighted with the service and quality of Van Walt’s work, from the pre- planning consultation stage through to the delivery, installation and servicing of the equipment. Of particular importance to us is the ease of use and clarity of their systems, including their highly secure web-based monitoring software which allows us to be connected to the various probes at the two sites instantly from anywhere in the world. Those data streams are also attached to alarms which inform us of any major ground changes so that we can be responsive to those changes in a way that was previously impossible to achieve.

To highlight just some of the solutions we can supply:

  • Water Quality (pH, Redox, Electrical Conductivity, Temperature, Turbidity)
  • Environmental Data (Temperature, Relative Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction, Pressure, solar radiation)
  • Soil Sampling Tools (for semi-disturbed and undisturbed sampling)
  • Telemetry (over Mobile Networks or Satellite)
  • Installation and training (Worldwide either directly from the UK or through our offices)
