Custom Software for Mining Companies

Custom software for mining companies that keeps environmental, health, and safety responsibilities covered across busy operations, shifts, and changing roles.

Mining operations are busy places, and the people responsible for environmental, health, and safety tasks change with shifts, vacations, and reassignments. If responsibilities aren't clearly assigned and handed off, compliance work quietly stalls.

J Street Technology has built custom software since 1994 for more than 600 clients. For Teck Resources, a global mining company based in Canada, we built SiteLine, a role-based system that keeps every responsibility owned and every task moving.

Running compliance inside a busy operation

  • Roles that shift. Environmental roles and responsibilities change constantly within a busy operation.
  • People who are away. When someone is off for the weekend, traveling, or on vacation, an alternate has to step in with the right authority.
  • Everyone needs a role. Every person must have or share a primary role, and the system has to know who holds which.
  • Training tied to the job. Each role comes with its own competencies and training modules.
  • Data for future operations. Environmental data needs to be organized well enough to support certifying and approving new mining operations.
Featured case study

Teck Resources

One project that stands out is our work on the environmental side of mining. Software is one of the most important components of responsible environmental management, and we're proud of the Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS) we've built for this sector — systems that help ensure EPA compliance, log and categorize environmental incidents, track environmental data, and help companies limit their impact.

Teck Resources, a global mining company based in Canada, needed an EMIS to manage compliance and prioritize critical workflow. The system organized massive amounts of environmental data so Teck's impact could be tracked and limited, with future use in certifying and approving new mining operations.

The Need

Teck needed a system to assign environmental compliance and EHS responsibilities across primary and alternate roles, track training and competency, centralize legal requirements, and manage complex, prioritized task assignments.

The Solution

J Street built a role-based compliance platform that generates environmental worksheets and compliance matrices, prioritizes and escalates overdue tasks, tracks completion at every level, and integrates with ISO 14001 document control such as QualTrax or SharePoint.

How it turned out

  • The Tag In/Out feature lets operations personnel designate and empower their alternates when they're away, even at facilities that don't run in shifts.
  • The SiteLine Command Center assigns each person one or more primary or alternate roles and controls access to every part of the system.
  • The Training Command Center manages training requirements from a single location, based on each role's competencies.
  • The Task Command Center lets administrators input, manage, and maintain compliance and task data.
  • An Access-based Administration Tool lets selected staff configure virtually every aspect of SiteLine, from lookup tables to status codes.

What we build for mining companies

  • Role-based EHS systems. Applications that assign primary and alternate roles and route work to whoever currently holds them.
  • Compliance task management. Prioritized tasks that escalate when they're overdue, with completion tracked at every level.
  • Training and competency tracking. Requirements tied to each role, managed from one place.
  • Administration tools. Configuration tools that let your staff maintain lookup tables, status codes, and settings themselves.
  • Environmental data management. SQL Server databases that organize large amounts of environmental data. See our work for environmental organizations.

How much does custom mining software cost?

It depends on scope. As a rough guide, small new applications typically fall between $20,000 and $50,000, medium applications between $50,000 and $100,000, and larger systems above that. We'll give you a realistic estimate after a free consultation.
