The 1st Chilean Congress of Rock Mechanics, organized by the Chilean Society of Rock Mechanics and the Department of Mining Engineering of the University of Santiago, seeks to generate a space where both industry and universities can present experiences and research in the areas of rock mechanics.
The demand for critical raw materials has increased sharply in recent years because of the ongoing energy transition and electrification. As mines become deeper, mine operators are looking for enhanced safety and productivity.
Silixa’s presentation, titled ‘Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technologies and their applications for underground mining operations’ will reveal how the company’s distributed sensing-based rockmass response monitoring service can increase the efficiency and improve the safety of deeper block caving operations by providing an integrated, real-time, high-resolution platform for monitoring microseismicity, fracture network propagation, deformation and temperature through a single fiber sensing cable.
Although distributed fiber optic sensing solutions are widely proven in other industries, the mining sector remains underserved by this technology. We will demonstrate how our world leading distributed sensors deliver the highest quality data available on the market and as such, provide the most reliable and detailed image of rockmass dynamics.
