Advancements in Mining Technology
Innovations in technology have transformed mining. Once an industry where workers once dug by hand, we now use autonomous vehicles to explore deep tunnels and robotics to control multiple drill rigs at once. Technology in the mining industry is being used to make...
What is subsidence?
Subsidence is vertical movement of the earth downwards in the direction of the gravity vector. This movement can have a variety of geotechnical causes. It can occur in any geo-material, including soil, rock, sand, as well as human-made structures and materials. ...
Underground Lidar
Underground lidar is a technology that allows for survey-grade mapping to generate high density point clouds in underground mines, stopes and civil tunnels. The data can be used by survey, mine planning, and geotechnical engineers. It uses lasers to measure the...
Remote sensing of the environment
When working in rough, unpredictable terrain, you will want to keep people off the site until you are certain it is safe. That is why remote sensing of the environment is a key innovation for safety and productivity in mining and civil engineering projects.What is...
Transform your automatic deformation monitoring
Streamline your site monitoring Automatic deformation monitoring is a critical service in the mining and civil works industries to detect the early warning signs of a slope collapse and act before slope failure. Ongoing monitoring allows you to identify movement of...
