Resources & mining
Pilbara villages, kept compliant.
Pilbara accommodation combines cyclone-driven humidity, FIFO occupancy patterns and audit regimes that demand verifiable evidence. PMS has been delivering duct and ventilation hygiene, mould remediation and IAQ verification on these sites for over a decade, direct to mine operators and through their FM partners.
- AS/NZS 3666 methodology
- Samples to a NATA-accredited lab
Why this sector is hard
What makes mining different
- Salt-laden cyclone humidity that overloads AHU drainage and grows microbial colonies fast
- FIFO occupancy patterns that recycle accommodation weekly, leaving little maintenance window
- Audit regimes that demand defensible documentation and clearance sampling analysed by a NATA-accredited lab
- Remote logistics: equipment, crew, and consumables landed in Karratha or Port Hedland
- Live-village delivery: works run alongside resident occupation, staged to keep disruption to a minimum
Why PMS
What we bring to mining
- Every Pilbara job planned ahead with the site team: access, site entry requirements, isolation and sign-off
- 9+ years of work for Sodexo in the Pilbara, plus work for Rio Tinto and Compass Group
- Swab and air sampling where scoped, analysed by a NATA-accredited lab
- Photo-documented zone-by-zone close-out packs that survive auditor review
- Methodology to AS/NZS 3666 and manufacturer specification

Services we deliver here
Common scope for mining sites
Duct Cleaning & Ventilation Hygiene
Removal of mould, microbial growth and biofilm from ducts, AHUs, coils and drain trays. Delivered to AS/NZS 3666 and manufacturer specification, with before and after photos on every job.
Commercial Mould Remediation
Commercial mould removal and remediation across Perth and the Pilbara. Containment, moisture source control and physical removal, then post-works air and surface sampling so the work is signed off, not just completed.
Duct Replacement & Repair
Duct repairs and replacement for systems where cleaning isn't enough, scoped by PMS and delivered through licensed mechanical contractors.
Demolition & Renovation Prep
Strip-out and site preparation for buildings with significant mould or contamination damage. Permits, logistics and waste handled end-to-end.
