Make better, faster ground support and mine design decisions
One of the biggest challenges facing underground mines is the ability to quickly and with greater confidence characterize the rock mass response to ongoing mining operations. Armed with timely rock mass insights, geotechnical engineers and ground control professionals can make better, faster decisions around seismic risk.
RockMap Live™ delivers actionable rock mass insights based on the collection and analysis of live seismic data. The integration of various seismic analysis techniques allows for a deeper understanding of rock mass behavior while providing a higher degree of confidence. This observation-based approach is then applied to specific mining challenges, including;
The benefits delivered by the RockMap Live™ approach include, more efficient deployment of ground support personnel, improved collaboration with other departments and identification of opportunities to access challenging areas of a mine.

Characterize and visualize stress in mines
Efficiently deploying scarce geotechnical resources, effective collaboration with mine engineering and shift crews, and contributing to more informed mine planning and design have been noted as some of the main challenges mining professionals face.
Stress Mapping, a key component of the RockMap Live™ offering, uses seismic data inputs and core ESG technologies (seismic tomography, stress inversion and dynamic parameters analysis) to characterize and visualize stress conditions in a mine.
Timely knowledge of the change in stress brings a new level of possibilities for geotechnical professionals:
