Weather resilience for mining sites

Ensure safe and efficient operations with modern weather insights

MINE WITH CONFIDENCE

MINE WITH CONFIDENCE

Mining sites are located everywhere in the world, operating through every kind of weather such as thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain and freezing conditions.  

High-quality local weather observations are indispensable for enhancing safety and operational efficiency where national weather data is either unavailable or not accurate enough to be timely and actionable. This capability ensures personnel safety by enabling timely preventive measures and minimizes operational disruptions.

Backed by nearly 90 years of weather measurement expertise, Vaisala offers state-of-the-art instruments and intelligence that address the unique challenges faced by mining operations.
