The Institute of Mine Seismology is an independent, private research and development organisation that aspires to be recognised as the centre of excellence in mine seismology. We offer the best practices in monitoring and managing the seismic rock mass response to mining. We offer a digital, intelligent, high resolution seismic monitoring and control system, featuring on-line seismological processing, analysis and visualization. We extract the maximum amount of useful information from the seismic monitoring system at the mine. Our fundamental research focuses on the main differences between processes leading to earthquakes and the seismic rock mass response to mining. The IMS seismic monitoring system is designed for installation in the harsh environments of open pit and underground mines.
About Beck Engineering BE’s main effort is Simulation Aided Engineering for difficult geotechnical environments. We focus on rock mechanics aspects of design for extractive industries, complex civil excavations, hydromechanical interactions and dynamic loading. • Our main tools are robust methodologies for handling uncertainty and sophisticated, large scale, 3D discontinuum models. • We work with you to manage and evolve your design from concept to implementation, by assisting you to quantify your uncertainty at each step and solve problems as they arise. • We help extractive industries with complex decision making, where hydro or geotechnical risks might affect the bottom line. • We believe in total transparency, collaboration and sufficiency. • Our teams of experienced field engineers and applied mechanics engineers work together within your team of engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, seismologists and field scientists to help you achieve your technical and operational objectives. • Our reliable physics based simulations integrate with your operations: We build rock and hydro mechanical simulations that make fewer assumptions, incorporate more of your measured data, and better match field observations to improve forecast resolution.
Enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental stewardship in mining with Sintela's advanced geotechnical monitoring technologies. From block cave monitoring to deep mining, strain, and microseismic detection, discover how ONYX™ peta and Nano Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) transform operations through superior data acquisition and analysis. Sintela's DFOS technologies, including Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), revolutionize geotechnical monitoring by providing real-time, long-range, and gapless monitoring at lower costs. Sintela’s units, equipped with AI-driven built-in microseismic detection, enhanced event detection using standard fiber, industry-leading noise floors, and ultra-low frequency response, ensure reliable monitoring of microseismic activity, strain, and rock mass response. These units integrate seamlessly with other geotechnical instruments for comprehensive monitoring solutions.
More than 400 specialists work for Geobrugg worldwide including production facilities on all continents and presence in over 50 countries. Geobrugg meshes and mechanical installation aids are a safety and efficiency factor in mining as well as in tunnels worldwide: people, machines and infrastructure are protected even in critical zones. Various tests conducted by the Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) and at our dynamic test site in Walenstadt have shown that high-tensile MINAX® mesh with a wire tensile strength of at least 1,770 N/mm2 can withstand substantially higher static and dynamic loads than conventional reinforcement nets. This also enables higher levels of rockburst energy to be absorbed. Our rock mesh has become a global success story, they are used in mines for reinforcing.
