Case Study: Mining Operations Providing Company minimizes severe-weather risk and protects workers with Earth Networks

Making Mines Safer with the World’s Largest Weather and Lightning Networks

Mining Operations Providing Company faced persistent severe-weather risks—lightning, high winds, heavy rain and landslides—that threaten worker safety, equipment and continuity of operations. To tackle these challenges they turned to Earth Networks, using its suite of tools including point-specific forecasts (up to 14 days), onsite weather stations, the Total Lightning Network–backed Outdoor Alerting Systems, and Sferic Maps for real-time visualization.

Earth Networks implemented real-time monitoring, advanced lightning detection (in-cloud and cloud-to-ground) and automated horn/strobe alerting so decision-makers can clear pits, pause blasting, or secure cranes with measurable lead time. The solution improved scheduling and safety compliance, gave operators documented weather data to support operational decisions, and minimized the risk of injuries, costly shutdowns and reputational exposure.
