Project Snapshot

Client: Thiess Mount Pleasant Operation
Location: Muswellbrook, NSW
Timeline: 2025

Project Overview

AVE Technologies was engaged by Thiess Mount Pleasant Operation to design and deliver a robust, compliant, and low-maintenance boom gate access control system suited to the demanding conditions of a modern mining environment.

The primary objective was to implement a reliable, future-ready solution that ensures controlled site access for authorised personnel and vehicles while meeting strict safety, operational, and statutory mining compliance requirements.

Scope Of Works

Supply and installation of FAAC commercial-grade boom gates
Integration of a standalone card reader access control system
Full electrical installation and system connectivity
Coordination with civil contractors for groundworks and concrete foundations
Verification of conduit sizing, placement, and layout to support future expansion and maintenance

Project Execution

AVE Technologies delivered a fully integrated solution, managing all electrical and system integration components while coordinating closely with civil and mechanical contractors.

A key focus of the project was future-proofing the infrastructure. Conduit placement and system design were carefully planned to allow for easy upgrades, additional access points, and minimal disruption to operations.

This strategic approach reduced long-term costs and ensured the system remains scalable, efficient, and adaptable as site requirements evolve.

Compliance And Safety

Operating within a mining environment requires strict adherence to regulatory standards and site-specific safety protocols.

AVE Technologies ensured that every aspect of the project, from electrical design to access control integration, met all relevant legislation and compliance requirements. The system was delivered fully audit-ready, providing confidence to statutory engineers and site management.

Outcome

Delivered a robust, compliant, and low-maintenance access control system
Enhanced site security and controlled vehicle access
Achieved reliable performance in demanding industrial conditions
Reduced long-term maintenance and upgrade costs through strategic planning
Reinforced AVE Technologies’ position as a trusted partner in mining-sector projects
