21 Years of Projects – Week 9: Dustfall Monitoring at Sishen Iron Ore Mine

Introduction

Dustfall monitoring has been a core Gondwana service since the early days. From the start, we focused on delivering end-to-end solutions that ensured both compliance and operational value for our clients. Our service covered the entire chain—from designing the monitoring network to sample collection, gravimetric analysis, and reporting.

By 2015, Gondwana’s dustfall monitoring service had achieved SANAS accreditation, giving our clients assurance that their data and reporting fully comply with the National Dust Control Regulations.

Project 9 of 21: Sishen Iron Ore Mine – 2012

In 2012, Gondwana was appointed by Sishen Iron Ore Mine in the Northern Cape to manage their dustfall monitoring requirements. 

Beyond Compliance

Dustfall monitoring is often seen purely as a regulatory requirement, but in practice, it offers much more. Properly designed and managed dustfall monitoring can provide operational insights—helping mines and industries manage dust at the source, improve efficiency, and minimise impacts on surrounding communities.
