Mining Monitoring

In-place inclinometers are positioned at fixed locations in the inclinometer borehole allowing continuous monitoring. Connect Shape Arrays and IPIs and wirelessly transmit data using the Digital Data Logger or the broadband ThreadX3 for longer chains.

Up to 200 segments of Shape Array using the Digital Logger and up to 300 segments using the ThreadX3.

Leverage compatibility with all major manufacturers of multi-point extensometers (MPBX) and in-place extensometers (IPX). Connect any vibrating wire, potentiometer, or analog displacement sensors installed in the head of the extensometer to the appropriate data logger. Digital MPBXs allow for reading more points with a single digital logger and enable the connection of more than one MPBX to the node.

Detect slope movements by monitoring tension cracks across landslides using a displacement sensor compatible with Worldsensing’s Analog or Vibrating Wire data logger. For situations with large movements anticipated, wireline extensometers, draw wire sensors, or the LaserTilt90 can be suitable alternatives.

Connect piezometers and multi-point piezometers from all the major geotechnical sensor manufacturers. Use 1-channel or 5-channel Vibrating Wire data loggers to transmit data from any number of sensor configurations. Water level sensors can be connected through Analog or Digital Data Loggers.

Use cost-efficient GNSS sensors connected to a ThreadX3 to accurately monitor ground movements and land deformation in vast areas such as tailings dams, open-pit mines and their surrounding areas, regions affected by subsidence and decommissioned mines.

Leverage the power of Worldsensing’s 3-in-1 LaserTilt90 wireless sensor to monitor convergence across entrance ramps, tunnels, galleries, and any underground excavations. The LaserTilt90 may be easily relocated along the convergence cross sections up to the excavation front or until the measured relative displacements are stabilized when the required frequency of measurements is reduced. It can also be used when permanent monitoring is required. 

Complement your geotechnical monitoring with a total station connected to a ThreadX3 for accurate movement detection.

When rapid detection is necessary for real-time decision-making, use G7 Tiltmeters event detection operational mode. It offers less than 2 seconds of latency for movement detection. Paired with in-field cameras connected through Thread X3, they form a complete Early Warning System for end-to-end solution for effective risk management.

Ensure the proper functionality of anchor systems -active and passive- by monitoring in a representative sample the load throughout their lifecycle including the load tests and stressing works. Stream data wirelessly from most of the load cells based on resistive strain gauges available in the market using the Piconode analog data logger. The 5-channel Vibrating Wire and the Digital Logger can also be suitable, depending on the type of load cell.

Assess the tangential and radial stresses in shotcrete support for underground excavations with pressure cells connected to the Vibrating Wire 5-channel data logger.

Attach VW Strain Gauges to the steel arch supported by arc welding them directly to the steel arch to achieve long-term strain measurements of the structural element. Connect the gauges to the Vibrating Wire 5-channel data logger. Additionally, it is possible to embed VW Strain Gauges in the shotcrete to measure strains within the tunnel lining.

Crack meters available in the market can be readily connected to a Vibrating Wire 1-channel data logger or the Piconode to monitor movement across surface cracks.

Monitor the impact of industrial activities on surrounding infrastructure with Worldsensing’s Vibration Meter, designed to operate in compliance with industry standards for building integrity (DIN4150-3 and BS7385-2).

Compatibility with major weather transmitter manufacturers via digital interface. Monitor precipitation, air temperature and other weather parameters using a weather transmitter connected to a Digital logger or ThreadX3. Multiple configurations readily available to stream the right data to your information systems.

Monitor the impact of vibrations created by industrial activities on people’s comfort with Worldsensing’s Vibration Meter, designed to operate in compliance with industry standards (ISO 2631-2).
