The Most Efficient Way to Perform Wireless Vibrating-Wire Monitoring in Your Surface Mine
As an engineer or manager of an open pit/surface mine, you no doubt spend a significant amount of time contending with water in the mine – whether it enters the mine as rain or surface water run-off, or originates as groundwater that seeps into low-lying areas of the mine, naturally or as a result...

Geotechnical Monitoring Instrumentation: Helping Mine Engineers Balance Safety & Productivity Requirements
Due to their nature, construction, and typical location, the operational status, safety, and productivity of underground mines (whether hard rock or soft rock) are heavily dependent on the geology and behaviour of rock masses in and around the mine. Because it is a highly variable material that... Read More
The Who, What, Where, When, Why, & How of Using Geotechnical Instruments in Underground Mines
Using an array of geotechnical instruments within an underground mine is a highly effective but relatively simple way to gather a lot of accurate data that can be used by mine engineers who are responsible for making decisions that affect safety and productivity. Who should be using geotechnical... Read More
Linking Analog Geotechnical Monitoring Instruments to a Digital Data Acquisition System
Geotechnical monitoring instruments are increasingly used by civil engineers to monitor dams, tunnels, bridges, and other large structures and civil projects, both during the initial construction phase and on an ongoing basis for control and management purposes as required in the longer term....
