Gold Forum Dinner Partner
Red Earth Engineering / Geosyntec Consultants partner with our clients to achieve safe and sustainable tailings. Together with REELab, we want to base decisions on reliable data and input from operators to reduce risk and costs.
Supported by Geosyntec’s globally renowned expertise in environmental sciences (e.g. geochemistry, water treatment) we are able to offer full GISTM Audit services in accordance with requirements of GTMI.
Gold Forum / Refreshment Breaks Partner
BK Civil Group have been servicing the civil and mining industries across eastern Australia since our inception almost 20 years ago. In this time, we have constructed dozens of Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF) and associated infrastructure for mine operators throughout the eastern seaboard.
TSF raise projects involving both upstream and downstream lifts; under constant tailings deposition; clay or synthetic lined; constructed with reclaimed tailings or greenfield borrowed material – we do it all.
We encourage Early Contractor Involvement to mitigate unwanted project variations and pride ourselves on our high quality, value for money outcomes, and our ability to deliver in tight time frames.
Mining Industry Partner
Black Insitu Testing was formed in 2008 as a specialised Cone Penetration Testing company. The company founders are experienced geotechnical engineers who have carefully developed a range of testing equipment that efficiently and reliably produce high quality test data that is required for dam design.
Our range of services include CPT, vane shear, DMT, seismic, pressuremeter tests, piston sampling, mini-block sampling and VWP installation. We have 10 CPT rigs that can access a wide range of site access conditions.
Detailed information on our testing services and CPT rigs is available on our web site www.blackinsitutesting.com.au
Mining Industry Partner
EWS was founded in 2014 and developed in harsh environments and isolated sites.
Our highly experienced team of scientists and engineers formed the concepts and ideas which are brought to life by our expert designers, electronic, firmware and software engineers.
Our devices are 100% designed, manufactured, and tested in the extreme Australian environment. We currently have over 15,000+ units deployed, 77,000 sensors connected, and our data platform (Orion) has received 20 million data transmissions.

Kurloo Technology offers an autonomous, full-service GNSS monitoring solution. Its solar-powered devices deliver millimetre-accurate 3D displacement, tilt, temperature, and rainfall data—without line-of-sight or regular site visits. Data is transmitted via LTE-M or Wi-Fi and visualised in real time through the Kurloo Nest dashboard. Fast to deploy and easy to integrate, Kurloo helps operators detect ground instability early, reduce risk, and maintain compliance with minimal intervention.

Maptek hardware-software technology solutions allow safe, remote monitoring of dam highwalls and environs, providing accurate data that enables operations to gain a better understanding of natural and built structures. Detailed point cloud data is combined with smart software to track, analyse and monitor changes over time. Monitoring allows close management of the integrity of structures and reporting for regulatory compliance, and operations can identify movements and analyse deformation trends to update designs. Stability analysis studies feed directly into operational risk management and strategic decision making.
Maptek can implement and support your monitoring solution to optimise the safety of your operations.
