Managing power system harmonics for underground mines

Developing an electrical distribution network for an underground mine has its challenges and integrating new technologies, such as on-demand ventilation or battery-powered vehicles, must be considered at the design stage. Electronic equipment like variable frequency drives and battery chargers are known to generate harmonics, which can negatively affect all mining site installations.

Geomatics and surveying: essential engineering tools

With today’s technology, processing geographic information has been turned on its head since the mapping production process has become entirely automated. Geographic information on a digital map is translated into points, lines or polygons that have related descriptive databases that in turn provide additional information about each element.

Implementing an industrial mining project: noise challenges

If you are considering an industrial or mining project, many assessments and studies must be performed to ensure educated planning. For example, the Environment Quality Act regulates the environmental impacts of these types of projects and forces the developer to meet certain legal obligations, such as assessing the impact any noise will have. This article provides a quick overview of the issues and challenges that must be addressed when planning industrial and mining projects.
