Coal and biomass stockpiles present a constant and often underestimated fire risk.
GoThermal delivers advanced early fire detection systems for stockpiles, identifying internal heat buildup and surface hotspots before ignition, preventing fires, production loss, and environmental damage.
Unlike conventional fires, stockpile fires often begin inside the material itself.
Common causes include:
These processes generate heat gradually, often undetected until ignition occurs.
Stockpiles are also exposed to external ignition sources:
Without monitoring at infeed points, fires can be introduced directly into the stockpile.
We apply a multi-layer detection strategy that monitors risk at every stage:
1. Fixed Thermal Monitoring at Infeed
Thermal cameras installed along conveyors before material reaches the stockpile:
Detect hot or contaminated material
Identify smoldering loads and embers
Trigger alerts before material is deposited
Prevents fires from entering the stockpile.
2. Fixed & Pan-Tilt Thermal Cameras Around Stockpiles
Strategically positioned thermal cameras provide continuous monitoring:
Detect surface hotspots
Monitor temperature trends over time
Cover large areas with pan-tilt-zoom capability
3. Thermal Drone Monitoring
Aerial thermal inspections provide full visibility across large stockpiles:
Identify hotspots not visible from ground level
Scan large or inaccessible areas
Rapid verification of alerts
Essential for large mining and port operations.
4. Handheld Thermal Inspections
Manual inspections using handheld thermal cameras:
Targeted hotspot investigation
Maintenance and safety checks
Verification of detected anomalies
Adds operational flexibility and on-site control.
