Wireless Piezometer Monitoring is the Best Way to Manage Water in Mines

Controlling water levels in contained and uncontained aquifers, and monitoring the pore pressure of groundwater, usually by means of an array of piezometers, are vital parts of ensuring that any mine operates safely and does not experience productivity disruptions. Wireless piezometer monitoring has several advantages over manual data collection and cable-based monitoring networks, including: 1.  They are rapidly deployable in mines of all...

Add a Wireless Element to Your Piezometer Monitoring for Greater Efficiency

Piezometers, in one form or another, have been in use for some time to measure water pressure within surface mines. The use of piezometers allows engineers to monitor the status and behaviour of open bodies of water and groundwater. Even if a piezometer is able to provide information to a datalogger, this is not truly an end-to-end digital solution because collecting...

Wireless Piezometer Monitoring Makes Backfilling More Predictable and Easier to Manage

As CPB (cemented paste backfill) backfilling becomes more common in underground mines, new techniques and practices develop to make this activity safer and more effective. One practice that is starting to gain popularity is locating piezometers directly within the area that will be filled with CPB, in order to measure pore pressure of the CPB as levels rise and stopes...

3 Benefits of a Wireless Piezometer Monitoring System

Mine operators wanting to implement a piezometer monitoring system to keep track of the behaviour of standing and ground water within their mine are often faced with the choice of opting for a wired or wireless system. Wireless piezometer monitoring systems offer several benefits over their wired counterparts, including: Reliable, easy access to useful data. Without long runs of cable strung all...

Wireless Piezometer Monitoring Yields More Useful Data, Faster

One of the ways that slope stability in pit mines is monitored is by measuring the groundwater pressure inside and adjacent to the slope.  Groundwater pressure is usually measured via a piezometer monitoring infrastructure that consists of multiple piezometers placed in strategic locations throughout the mine. This monitoring network may consist of one or more types of piezometer, the most...
