Virtual monitoring points now play a significant role in long-term, broad-area background monitoring afforded by LiDAR systems like GroundProbe’s GMS-Dual and GMS-Prism. In the past, physical prisms were heavily relied on at many mine sites and despite their long-range, fast scanning and high level of accuracy, they were difficult and sometimes dangerous to install as […]

READ MOREPrism and Prismless Monitoring in an Open-Cut Gold Operation
PRISM AND PRISMLESS MONITORING OVERVIEW Due to the loss of a significant number of physical prisms through vandalism, the on-site geotechnical team from Filminera Resources Corporation’s Masbate Gold Project, an open-cut gold mine in the Philippines, required a solution to effectively manage the mine’s safety including their ability to detect and measure deformation. CHALLENGE The […]

TOTAL MONITORING FLEXIBILITY The GMS provides total monitoring flexibility. It allows users to not only monitor prisms, but also add new virtual points on the wall. Reflecting the laser signal directly off the rock, the GMS achieves precision users can act on.
READ MOREGML Monitors Rear Wall of Shaft to Determine Optimal Targeted Ground Support
TARGETED GROUND SUPPORT OVERVIEW Underground environments are dynamic by nature, with the effectiveness of ground support consistently changing. Through monitoring, areas of high risk can be identified and rehabilitated in a targeted way. At a large, well-known hard rock mine in Queensland, Australia, visual inspections on the rear wall of a shaft showed cracking in the shotcrete. […]
