Wireless Telemetry

Wireless Telemetry in Underground Hard Rock Mining

The ability to remotely and wirelessly measure geotechnical and environmental data, or to control blasting offer significant benefits to safety and productivity.

Applications

Geotechnical and Environmental Monitoring

Geotechnical monitoring in mining can determine and predict the stability of the surrounding rock strata. Environmental monitoring consists of the measurement of parameters like the concentration of explosive or toxic gases, temperature and airflow. This information is key to ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment, and enabling pro-active production planning.

• Reduces the setup costs for labour and hardware
• Allows personnel to be further away from the blast area
• Eliminated safety issues related to cable induction
• Reduces misfires and lost production time
