How a Wireless Hydrology Monitoring System Can Make Your Mine Safer and More Efficient
Mining in an environment where there are significant water reserves, or the ground is simply very damp, adds more complexity to an already challenging activity. In order to minimise the risk of mining operations being disrupted, and possibly made unsafe, by flooding or large changes in water... Read More
Wireless Geotechnical Monitoring Networks are Far More Efficient than Manual Data Collection
In order to effectively manage safety and productivity in a modern mine, it is vital that ground and water movement are continually monitored. In order to do this, geotechnical and hydrology monitoring instruments are placed at various locations in and around the mine. In some mines, data is then... Read More
What is a Wireless Mesh Sensor Network & How is it Used in Mines?
As mines become larger, deeper and operate at a faster pace than in the past, accurate monitoring becomes increasingly important. Collecting data from a range of geotechnical instruments that are often spread over a wide geographical area can be a challenge, especially if the data collection has... Read More
