At Digitex, our commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructures extends beyond dams and buildings. We’re also dedicated to ensuring the safety of mining operations, where the risk of structural failures can have severe consequences. One of our pivotal projects involved implementing our advanced seismic monitoring system at a copper mine in Majdanpek, Serbia. In this blog post, we aim to shed light on how our technology was effectively used to monitor real-time impacts of mining processes on the surrounding residential structures.
For the Majdanpek Copper Mine project, our team installed the RTR-16-00-G system close to the mine site. The system was specifically designed to monitor, in real-time, the impact of mining explosions on the neighboring residential buildings. Spread across two distributed locations, the system closely tracks data from tri-axial accelerometers, displacement transducers, air temperature sensors, air humidity sensors, and air blast microphones.
Key features of our Seismic Monitoring System:
- Multi-sensor monitoring: Our system uses a variety of sensors, including tri-axial accelerometers, displacement transducers, air temperature sensors, air humidity sensors, and air blast microphones. This comprehensive monitoring allows us to capture a wide range of data to assess the effects of mining operations on surrounding structures.
- Real-time data monitoring: By continually tracking and analyzing the data from multiple sensors, our system provides a real-time overview of the impact of mining processes on surrounding residential structures. This information is crucial in taking timely measures to prevent potential damage.
- Automatic data reporting and management: Our system automatically processes the collected data, generating reports, and managing the data via an SQL database and a web server. This automation ensures timely access to data and enhances the decision-making process for the safety management team at the mine.
The Majdanpek Copper Mine project in Serbia illustrates our commitment to providing leading-edge SHM solutions tailored to the unique needs of different industries. Our innovative seismic monitoring system plays a crucial role in ensuring the structural safety of the surrounding residential buildings, highlighting the importance of our technology in the mining sector. At Digitex, we continue to innovate and implement SHM solutions to ensure the safety and longevity of our clients’ assets
