Short Resumé

Morné started his career in the mining industry as a bursar Learner Official (JCI, Randfontein), working

in the mining industry, doing various mining related courses (Rock Mechanics, Surveying, Sampling,

Safety and Health [Ventilation, noise, illumination etc] and Metallurgy. He did work in both

underground (Coal, Gold and Platinum) as well as opencast (Coal) for 4 years. He changed course from

Mining Engineering to Chemical Engineering after his second year of his studies at the University of

Pretoria.

After graduation he worked as a Water Pollution Control Officer at the Department of Water Affairs

and Forestry for two years (first year seconded from Wates, Meiring and Barnard), where duties

included the perusal (evaluation, commenting and recommendation) of various regulatory required

documents (such as EMPR’s, Water Licence Applications and EIA’s), auditing of licence conditions as

well as the compilation of Technical Documents.

Since leaving the Department of Water Affairs, Morné has been in private consulting for the last 15

years, managing various projects for the mining and industrial sector, private developers, business,

other environmental consulting firms as well as the Department of Water Affairs. During that period

he has been involved in various projects, either as specialist, consultant, trainer or project manager,

successfully completing these projects within budget and timeframe. During that period he gradually

moved towards environmental acoustics, focusing on this field exclusively since 2007.

He has been interested in acoustics as from school days, doing projects mainly related to loudspeaker

design. Interest in the matter brought him into the field of Environmental Noise Measurement,

Prediction and Control. He has been doing work in this field for the past 8 years, and was involved

with the following projects in the last few years:
