ONLINE MONITORING OF MINES

1 INTRODUCTION

Geotechnical instruments play an important role in mining to ensure continual


productivity and safety in mines, whether the mine is underground or on the surface.
Mining has a significant impact on the geological formations in the area in which it is
conducted and is in turn also influenced by these formations.
In the case of underground mining works, ground movement is one of the most
significant threats to the safety and continued operations, as it can lead to rock falls,
tunnel collapses and other catastrophic events. In the case of the open-pit, it is very
important to monitor slope stability/any significant ground movement, study soil
behavior and to develop means to reduce accidents and fatalities caused by ground
movements or failure of surrounding structures.
Encardio-rite offers a wide variety of instruments for measuring deformations,
groundwater, strain, stress, and load. The sensors have a proven track record for
reliability and long-term performance under harsh conditions. If used diligently, these
instruments can provide important quantitative information regarding the mining-
induced behavior of the surrounding rock/ground, performance of ground support
systems as well as the safety and stability of underground mining works, as the
excavation progresses.
The online web-based monitoring service provided by Encardio-rite enables data at
the client’s desk with automatic alerts, warns the related authorities of impending
ground failures or hazardous working conditions well in advance.
Encardio-rite also has expertise in advanced technologies being used today for safety
monitoring and risk assessment of mining works, such as automatic 3D deformation
monitoring using ATS, laser scanning and aerial survey using drones.

2 BENEFITS OF MONITORING MINES

Online monitoring and risk assessment solutions ensure the following:


▪ Increase safety - Maintaining safe operational systems and procedures to protect personnel,
material, nearby structures, communities, and the environment. It provides timely alarms on
potentially unstable ground.
▪ Reduce costs – Instrumentation aids in optimizing mine operations for example while
increasing steepness of slopes to minimize waste removal and maximize recovery of ore it
keeps a close check on the slope movements and that of the surrounding ground.
▪ Operations control - Provide pre-alerts on any expected failure zones, to develop and design
appropriate remedial action plans and timely evacuations of the area, if required.
▪ Verify designs - Assessing the performance of implemented ground support systems, the
stability of underground mining operations, slope design, etc.
▪ Impact assessment of extraordinary natural events - Provide details on the impact of
events such as earthquakes or excessive rainfall to minimize risk.
▪ Regulation compliance - To conform to the current and future standards & regulations for
safety.
▪ Learnings for future - Building up a history of information to determine different
rock/soil/slope behaviors over a long period of monitoring.

3 MONITORING SOLUTIONS FOR MINES

Following solutions are available with Encardio-rite for online monitoring of mines:
▪ Geotechnical sensors to measure all relevant parameters required to monitor different types of
dams
▪ Automatic monitoring of geotechnical sensors with SDI-12 digital interface using SDI-12 data
logger with GSM/GPRS telemetry
▪ Automatic monitoring of geotechnical sensors using LoRa nodes and gateways
▪ Geodetic monitoring with automatic total stations (ATS) with GSM/GPRS telemetry
▪ Laser scanning
▪ Survey by UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) or drones
▪ Public cloud-based web data management service (WDMS) that provides data online (with
alarms) to authorised users at different locations on their computers/mobile devices.
Advances in geotechnical instrumentation, geodetic survey and data transmission systems make it
possible to monitor the performance of mining works from any remote location, conveniently and
economically. The datalogger and total station automatically collect reading from the installed sensors
and targets, at selected intervals. An alarm is triggered or SMS is automatically sent if any of the pre-
determined trigger values are exceeded. Data is transmitted to a remote data management software,
at a central server or cloud, where large quantities of collected data are processed, evaluated and
presented as meaningful information. The same becomes accessible to the concerned authorities, at
their desk or mobile devices through the world wide web.

4 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MINES

4.1 Open-pit mine

Slope monitoring forms an integral part of the risk management of open-pit mines. The monitoring

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


data provide reliable information to detect potentially unstable ground and to identify any slope
instability to evaluate the performance of slope design. With online monitoring, the risk of slope
movement and the subsequent consequences can be considerably reduced. This allows for optimal
mining conditions that are safe for mine personnel as well as surrounding structures.

4.2 Underground mine

Underground mining is carried out when ore deposits are located deep below the surface. The
following are the major underground mining methods:

4.2.1 Cut and fill stope


Cut and fill stope mining is used in steeply
dipping or irregular underground ore
bodies In a cut-and-fill stoping operation,
ramps or inclined tunnels are excavated
to connect the surface to the underground
ore body. Stoping is the process of
extracting the desired ore or other
minerals from an underground mine,
leaving behind an open space known as a
stope. Drifts are excavated to access the
ore. The ore is mined in horizontal slices,
bottom slices are mined first. Drilling is
the first stage in removing ore using a
rotary percussion jumbo drill. A secondary
stage involves blasting the ore to further
Cut & fill stope
break it up. It is common to remove
horizontal slices of ore that span the
entire width and length of the ore. Once
the ore has been completely mined, the
stope is backfilled hydraulically.
Sometimes ore waste is mixed with other
materials such as sand, cement, waste
rock, or dewatered mill tailings-a low-
grade ore that has been rejected for
processing—to make the backfill. The
backfill provides a working floor for miners
and equipment as the mining progresses
to the top of the ore and also supports the
stope walls. Mucking of ore is
accomplished with a wheel loader. The
ore is then hauled away in dump trucks Shrinkage stoping
up to the surface via the ramps.

4.2.2 Shrinkage stoping


The shrinkage stoping method is similar to cut and fill method described above, however, instead of
removing the ore after blasting and backfilling, the initially broken ore is left in the void to create a
working platform for the next level (and to support the wall stability of the stope).
After all the planned levels have been blasted, then all of the ore is removed for processing.

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


This method requires many active stopes because the ore is not removed from each mining area until
completion-meaning longer lead times for ore to get to the process plant compared to cut and fill
operations.

4.2.3 Sublevel longhole stoping


This bulk underground mining method involves
mining large amounts of material from a single
stope –similar to cut and fill, this method starts at
the bottom of a level and moves upward. Ore is
removed from the bottom, and then more ore is
blasted from a higher level which falls to the
same level to be removed, with the process
repeating up the orebody.

The supporting walls need to be very strong to


support the large underground openings that is
created by this process

4.2.4 Room & pillar

Room-and-pillar mining is typically chosen for Sublevel longhole stoping


flat-lying (or at slightly dipping) ore bodies.
Commonly used for base metal or uranium metal deposits, or bedded seams of coal/potash/salt,
mining is done by creating openings (rooms) on a single level, leaving pillars of rock at regular
intervals to support the weight of the material above (the roof).
In hard-rock deposits (i.e. copper, lead-zinc),
drilling and blasting are required to break up
the ore before being able to remove it.
After mining out levels, the pillars may be
removed (to recover the remaining ore or
material) and the roof is allowed to safely
collapse and fill in the mined-out area.

4.2.5 Block Caving


Block caving is essentially the underground
version of open-pit mining. It is the only
underground mining method that can reach
similar production rates to surface mining
operations, up to around 100,000 tonnes per Room & pillar mining
day.
The method involves undermining an orebody, then allowing it to collapse under its weight. The
orebody is drilled and blasted and the collapsed ore is removed through haulage access, and as more
material is removed the orebody caves in.
The choice of the above-described method depends on the concentration of the ore, strength of the
surrounding rock and various risks involved.
Mponeng gold mine, located south-west of Johannesburg in South Africa, is the deepest mine in the
world. The operating depth at Mponeng mine ranged from 3.16 km to 3.84 km below the surface.

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


Construction of underground
mine caverns and tunnels have
great challenges to address.
The main challenges include the
variable stress field in
underground mines, the
proximity to other large
excavations such as open pits.
Monitoring deformation, the
stability of excavation (caverns
and shafts), tunnel convergence
and surrounding ground
movements become critical.
Early warnings allow mine
owners to have timely
contingency plans to prevent
any failures.

4.3 Tailings dams

A tailings dam is typically an


earth-fill embankment dam used
to store byproducts of mining
operations after separating the
ore from the gangue.
Block caving mining
To save land and to store more
tailings at a particular area, the height-raising of tailings ponds are being adopted. There are various
methods of height-raising of ash ponds such as upstream raising, downstream raising & central line
raising. The upstream method of raising is often adopted as it is economical, results in better stability,
viable to construct in a comparatively small land area and short construction time.

Types of sequentially raised tailings dams

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


Tailings can be liquid, solid or a slurry of fine particles and are usually highly toxic and potentially
radioactive. Failure of a tailings dam is thus a hazard source of debris flow with high potential energy
leading to environmental disaster. The real-time monitoring system with pre-alerts is vital to monitor
the stability of the tailings dam to ensure the safety of human lives, properties, and environment, as
well as for sustainable mining.

Notes regarding implementation:


1. Encardio rite provides a range of shielded armored/non-armored cables from 2 to 40 cores for
connecting the above sensors to the readout devices/dataloggers. Necessary splicing kits,
junction boxes, switch boxes, protective enclosures, and covers, lockable manhole covers are
readily available to execute simple to complex instrumentation schemes. It also provides
several solutions to reduce cable lengths by using multiplexers, SDI-12 interface and wireless
transmission using the allowable RF band.
2. Grouting is one of the most important factors influencing the quality of the readings post-
installation. There is no remedy towards improper grouting, therefore experts should be
involved in the grouting of the borehole instruments.
3. Lightning Protection: Field instruments are vulnerable to lightning damage in the areas with a
high rate of lightning strikes. The risk increases as the cable length increases. Although a
tripolar plasma surge arrestor is inbuilt into most Encardio-rite sensors to protect these against
voltage spikes across the input leads, an additional lightning protection system is
recommended. It is preferable to engage a local agency specializing in earthing and lightning
protection systems to implement the same.
4. In some sites, the field instrumentation is required to be connected to the client’s existing local
network based on fiber optic cables. In such cases, Encardio-rite can provide an ethernet
interface NL201. However, the ethernet to fiberoptic media converter shall be arranged by the
client.

The measured data is stored, together with the current date, time and battery voltage, as a data record
in the internal non-volatile memory of the datalogger. An alarm is triggered or SMS is automatically
sent if any of the pre-determined trigger values are exceeded.

The advantage of the system is that only a single 3 conductor cable is required to interconnect all the
sensors in a daisy chain configuration and eventually to the datalogger. SDI-12 is a multi-drop
interface that can communicate with multi-parameter sensors.

7 AUTOMATIC WIRELESS SENSORS MONITORING SYSTEM (RF)

Encardio-rite offers a state-of-the-art multi-hop wireless mesh network solution that allows real-time
monitoring of geotechnical sensors in challenging projects, with reliable data transfer over long
distances without any delay.
The system comprises sensors interfaced with the long-range, low power mesh network through
nodes that send recorded data to the gateway with over 99 % reliability. The gateway uploads the
collected sensor data to the central/cloud server.
The unique feature of our innovative mesh network is that even if a node cannot reach the gateway
directly, it can send its data to the gateway via other nodes in the network. The mesh network allows
all nodes to talk to each other, thus allowing them to relay data from other nodes to the Gateway. This
ensures that data from all nodes are transferred to gateway (and hence cloud server) without any
delay.
The wireless system eliminates the need for running lengthy cables, thus offering benefits such as
convenient installations, cost & time savings, remote monitoring of hard to access locations and easy
maintenance.

8 BLUETOOTH 5 BASED WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

YieldPoint’s d-EXTO digital MPBX can be wirelessly networked in a star topology for data retrieval and
transmission using an extremely low energy data transfer technology, based on Bluetooth 5. It
features the same low power features like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) but with 4 times its range (100
m). The Bluetooth devices of the wireless network include BluPoint which enables Bluetooth
connectivity to the digital MPBX, BluLoggers, and BluGateways. The above bluetooth device also
allows the site personnel to take the latest readings with an Android phone or tablet installed with
BluPoint App. From a distance of around 10 m. BluGateways can autonomously collect data from
BluLink or Bluelogger and transmit it via a WiFi or LTE-M network to a central server. BluLoggers can
also be fitted to vehicles to wirelessly collect readings from sensors with BlueLink during a drive-by.
The above Bluetooth devices run on lithium or alkaline batteries. With 1 reading/hr the alkaline
batteries will last 2-3 years, and lithium batteries over 4 years.

9 AUTOMATIC TOTAL STATIONS (ATS)

Encardio-rite offers an automatic three-dimensional deformation monitoring system with the highest
accuracy achievable in the industry presently. Displacement data is measured from the prism targets
by a high precision and accuracy robotic total station with a dedicated control box that includes a
computer running special software.
The control box manages the total station and schedules the frequency of the measurements, the
addition or subtraction of monitor benchmarks, the filters of acceptance or repetition of each
measurement, the atmospheric corrections in distance measurements, the calculation, and
repositioning of the total station, etc.
The whole system can be controlled/re-configured remotely after installation at the site. The on-site
system transmits the collected raw data to a remote server/computer via GPRS/GPS. The system has
the facility of alert notifications through SMS and (or) e-mail to the authorized team for any result
exceeding present alarm and critical levels. The deformation data is available online through WDMS in
near real-time.

10 LASER SCANNING

Laser scanning is an advanced method of surveying and conducting geometric profiling of mining
works that require the highest degree of analysis, are difficult to reach or gain access to, or are not to
be touched. Recent developments, especially in the software, have made it one of the fastest,
convenient, cost-effective, accurate and efficient tools to accurately monitor underground
excavations/caverns in three-dimensions.
The advantage of laser scanning is that the measurements are not limited only to specific prism spots,
but covers all the exposed surfaces. Particularly useful to monitor the remaining columns supporting
the overburden. Completion of the fieldwork results in a geo-referenced point cloud which, due to its
great density and its ability to bear information on the reflectivity and/or the color of each point, comes
close to the term, “virtual reality”.
OPSIS is a software tool developed to overcome the impediment caused by the vast amounts of data
LiDAR. The idea within its core is to perform operations over the raw data from the LiDAR to obtain a
significantly smaller data set to carry out the analysis.
The task of monitoring the deformations or displacements of the scanned objects to perceive possible
changes using OPSIS comes down to processing the subsequent point clouds obtained in different
epochs using the same projection surface and grid obtained as the best fit for the initial point cloud. If
significant changes in the object’s geometrical form were to occur, variations of the cell’s mean values
will make them easily detectable.

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


What makes this approach unique and better than other commonly used existing software is the
feature that it not only gives a point cloud pair comparison but it also provides a linear diagram
visualization of the deformation history of each grid cell. Due to the lighter nature of the new software,
it takes significantly lesser time to process the results and make the same available online, almost in
real-time.
To summarize, the results of laser scanning gives us:

▪ Surveying of current state and of «as constructed» state


▪ Virtual reality creations; Virtual tour videos
▪ Geometric documentation of the structure
▪ Quantitative calculation
▪ Inspection of free passage space – determination of bottlenecks
▪ Creation of 2D & 3D products (sections, facets, 3D models, etc.)
▪ Identification of deformations

11 AERIAL MAPPING USING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAV/DRONE)

Inspection of huge and complex excavation works like mining requires high degree of analysis but at
times are difficult to reach or gain access to. Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)/Drones is best
suited for such applications.

Photos & Orthophotos

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


UAVs/Drones are unmanned and remotely-piloted aircraft that follow a pre-programmed path for takeoff,
flight, and landing. These aircraft are equipped with HD/IR/Thermal cameras that compute aerial images
and videos over a defined area at the specified height. Using UAVs/drones to video, model and scan for
cracks, erosion, corrosion and defects in areas, that would otherwise require the inspector to use a
rope/harness or erect access scaffolding, is safer, faster and smarter choice.
Results from UAV/drone are in the following forms:

▪ Photos & Orthophotos


▪ Mesh 3D Models & Texture 3D Models
▪ Videos - Presentations
▪ Contour maps; Slope maps
▪ Area - Volumetric calculations

Mesh 3D modelling Texture 3D Modelling

12 PUBLIC CLOUD-BASED WEB DATA MONITORING SERVICE (WDMS)

Encardio-rite offers complete cloud-based web or local access data monitoring service to its
customers for retrieving data from the dataloggers/gateways, archiving retrieved data in a SQL
database, processing data and presenting the processed data in tabular and most suitable graphical
forms for easy interpretation. Heart of the system is Drishti data management software. This is a
highly flexible data management platform that can combine data from geotechnical, geodetic and
environmental sensors.
Encardio-rite cloud services work on a rental model. The user has to pay a small setup fee for the first
time and then a monthly rental has to be paid for accessing the data over the cloud as long as
required. Alternatively, it can be installed on the client’s server, if required. Features of the monitoring
data management software can be summarized as follows:
▪ Data from multiple sensor types are converted into meaningful information in graphical as well
as the numerical format
▪ A layout plan or Google Maps can be incorporated with the locations of each monitoring
sensor. From this view, the user can get data in the graphical form of any sensor with few
mouse clicks
▪ The web browser interface is very simple to use and intuitive
▪ Access to all sensors in one platform
▪ Generate combined charts of related parameters

Over 50 years of excellence through ingenuity


▪ Create graphs from any combination of parameters and period
▪ Instant automatic alerts via SMS or email to authorized personnel as soon as any sensor data
crosses its predefined alarm levels, while either going above or going below the alarm level
▪ Can send the health status of the system to selected users
▪ No special software required for accessing the user sites as information can be viewed using
most standard and popular web browsers
▪ Can be accessed using tablets and smartphones

Typical long-term online data

13 CONCLUSION

An online monitoring solution for mining works is not expensive compared to the losses incurred in case
of any failure. By monitoring mines, corrective action may become possible earlier than the occurrence
of any failure. The data observed from the installed sensors as described above plays a vital role in
safeguarding the mining progress, human lives, environment, and nearby properties, providing timely
warnings to take corrective measures.
To obtain the best results, the instruments need to be of superior quality and must be installed
carefully and precisely under expert supervision; since once embedded, the instrument cannot be
taken out. Encardio-rite designs manufacture and supply world-class sensors having long term
reliability to almost 55 countries around the globe.
The collection and analysis of large quantities of data from the huge area require centralized and
automated database systems as data monitored must be made available to the user promptly as
meaningful information. The data collected must be reduced to a convenient form. Automated
database solutions offered by Encardio-rite do the processing and analysis of the collected raw data
and provide accurate data, rapidly, enabling efficient alarm systems.
