MINING EXPERTISE

Powering deeper, safer and more productive mining

Knowledge is power underground. Seismic data is key to understanding the rockmass response to mining. By processing everything, including mining noise, the seismic dataset also holds a lot of information about subsurface operations. Stronger data and better insights allows more effective optimization of an operation.

Based on more than a decade of collaborative research with the world’s largest underground iron ore mines (LKAB) and implementation at more than 15 mines world wide, our solution gives mining teams unprecedented understanding of rock-mass behavior. By visualizing conditions in real time and anticipating hazards, teams can make proactive decisions that improve safety while maximizing production. 

BENEFITS FOR MINING

Multiple value drivers across your mine

Every mine is seismic. The question is how you respond.

In addition to managing hazard, your seismic data can be valorized to benefit your operations.

Hazard Management

High-precison seismic locations provide clearer vision of seismic causes, such as previously unmapped faults and features, driving geotechnical and ground control actions.

Production Efficiency

Seismic data says a lot about how operations are proceeding. Understanding caving behavior and monitoring ore-pass levels and breakage are examples of high-value insights that can be extracted from seismic data.

Design and Planning Optimization

Quality seismic data reveals the rockmass response to mining, informing sequencing and planning strategies for optimized mining.

Operational Safety

Accurate real-time events enable early detection and precise TARP activation, enabling faster and more precise geotechnical assessments and reentry.

Minimising Costly Disruptions

With reliable automatic processing and real-time data, downtime and exclusions can be kept to a minimum.

Data tailored for multiple stake-holders

We offer tools that empower a range of roles across your mining team. By delivering reliable and relevant data with fit-for-purpose interpretation to each stakeholder, when and where they need it, our mining solutions enable higher productivity and enhanced safety.
