Rio Tinto’s bauxite mine in Queensland, Australia, was threatened with water shortage as drought season left its mark on the nearby dam serving the mine site and its operations.

The Generation X.e is not only perfectly suited to heavy industry – these industrial gear units are adapted precisely to the operating and environmental conditions of their particular applications.

Smart asset automation, backed by geospatial intelligence, robotics and machine learning, are rapidly transforming mine operations and the spotlight is on telematics and MICROMINE’s Pitram 5 – one of the world’s leading fully-automated fleet management systems.

After being struck by a seismic event in May 2020, LKAB called in remote sensing specialist AMKVO who utilised drone autonomy and mapping solution Hovermap, to safely and quickly map damaged areas of Kiruna mine.

Groundwater derives from rainwater which permeates through the soil and rocks. It fills up the pores between the sand grains and fissures in rocks. It can remain on the ground for less than a year to millions of years. When the groundwater horizon penetrates the land surface, it will be released as spring and flow into surface water.

Last month marked the two-year anniversary of one of the most significant tailings dam failures in history – the Córrego do Feijão operation in Brumadinho, Brazil which took 270 people’s lives.

To combat excessive blast overbreak in notoriously challenging ground conditions at two underground mines in the Goldfields of Western Australia, perimeter control products were trialled late last year.

As the world’s largest bearing manufacturer, SKF is a name synonymous with bearings. The company, however, has long-realised the oncoming impact that Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will have on its business and customers.

Since February 2019, BHP’s Olympic Dam mine has been an early adopter of the latest in mobile LiDAR technology. The use of such advanced systems has allowed its mining surveyors and engineers to map stopes to generate data that helps de-risk the transition into new, and less well understood, mining areas. Mobile LiDAR technology is … Continue reading BHP’s Olympic Dam mine uses mobile LiDAR data to deliver better outcomes →

Dyno Nobel has trialled perimeter control products to combat excessive blast outbreak in notoriously challenging ground conditions at two underground mines in the Goldfields of Western Australia.
