Wireless Geotechnical Monitoring has Many Practical Applications

In recent years, wireless geotechnical monitoring systems have really proven their worth and made a positive impact on the way productivity and safety are managed in modern open-pit and other surface mines. As a result, many people have come to mostly associate these systems with the mining industry – which is, of course, perfectly understandable, considering the significant difference they have...

Some Advantages of Wireless Geotechnical Monitoring Systems in Underground Mines

More and more mine owners and operators are realizing the benefits of having automated geotechnical monitoring systems in their mines. These systems automatically gather relevant information from sensors located all over the mine and move the data to a central control point, where it can be assessed and used to make operational decisions that ensure the mine runs smoothly and...

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 collected manually by mine personnel who move from instrument to instrument, writing...
