Project Overview
Cross-border mining activities often induce significant stress changes in underground rocks, resulting in microseismic events. In 2023, a client utilized the SmartSolo microseismic monitoring system to detect and locate these microseismic events. This advanced monitoring system was instrumental in assessing potential occurrences of cross-border mining during extraction processes.
Equipment Used
- SmartSolo Seismic Sensors: A total of 10 sensors deployed strategically for optimal coverage.
Project Features
Non-Destructive Monitoring
Microseismic monitoring offers a non-invasive method for surface observation. It enables:
- Assessment of underground rock movements without causing any harm or interference to geological structures.
- Minimal environmental and structural impact, preserving the integrity of the site.
