Faster Data Interpretation and Response Times With Improved Convergence Monitoring Workflow
Modern mines operate in an environment where time wastage must be minimized. The faster processes can be executed, the more efficient and profitable the mine will be. This is not only the case with actual mining operations, where working as fast and as efficiently as possible is a given, but it is... Read More
Automated Mobile Mapping Has Important Visualization, Safety, and Future Planning Benefits
Digital, 3D mapping of underground mines is becoming an increasingly common practice, due to the many benefits it provides to mine managers and engineers, including the ability to visualize parts of the mine without the need for unnecessary trips underground. Aside from their value as a... Read More
Automated Convergence Monitoring: A Non-Intrusive Way to Monitor Structural Health During Underground Mine Tunnel Construction
When tunnels are built underground, whether during the construction of a new mine or as part of an expansion project, convergence monitoring is vital. As it is, mine tunnels have many stresses placed on them, and this can be aggravated by the construction process damaging and disrupting the... Read More
