RockSHIELD® — MBPX Digital Ground Monitoring
Automated monitoring within the rockmass provides clearer understanding of changing conditions around underground mines and tunnels.
The RockSHIELD multi-point borehole extensometers helps site personnel identify where and when movement is occurring, review trends and make informed decisions about ground support. Reduce the reliance on manual readings and instead quantify timing, failure mode and depth of rock failure with automated data collection and remote access. Improved management of underground conditions from the surface for safer mining.
- Simple installation - no grouting required.
- Easy network configuration to record movement readings using underground Wi-Fi networks or displayed through a local connection on a handheld tablet.
- Compare readings over time with historical data logging to help identify changing conditions.
- Configurable alerts at nominated movement thresholds provide peace of mind.
- Integrate with third party software applications for simpler inclusion into mine monitoring systems.
Warning: This instrumentation is not intrinsically safe and must not be used where intrinsically safe equipment is required.
