Water build-up during construction activities is one of the many challenges civil engineers can face. The risk of having the working site flooded by a body of water that suddenly increases in volume or begins to behave in an unpredictable manner is very real in some cases. Water that is not obviously visible can also cause problems, e.g. when it is...
Wireless water level monitoring systems in many surface and underground mines make use of two fundamental modern technologies: Telemetry and the Internet of Things (sometimes also called the Web of Things). Telemetry refers to the automatic collection of information (in this case, measurement data) from devices, often in remote locations, and transmitting it to a central point where it can be...
One of the problems with open pit mines is that they have a tendency to fill up with water over time. This water sometimes comes from rain, but can also be present because the bottom of the mine excavation is lower than the top of the surrounding water table. This causes water to continually seep into the mine pit. There are...
