What’s happening at IMS
What Support Actually Looks Like at IMS
When a seismic monitoring system at a mine stops reporting data at 2 am, the response matters. At IMS, support is not an afterthought. It is part of a complete service, delivered by the same team, every time. Here is what that actually looks like in practice. How our...
Advantages of three-component sensors for Ambient Noise Tomography
Three-component geophones measure ground motion in all three dimensions: vertical, east, and north. The base cost of a three-component geophone is approximately double that of a geophone that measures the vertical-component only. There is also an increased...
Why Your In-Mine Seismic System Needs a “Far-Field” Perspective
If I have a seismic monitoring system in my mine, why would I install additional sensors far away? It’s a fair question. If your mine is already wired with an extensive, high-density seismic array, adding sensors kilometres away might seem redundant. However, internal...
Gobierno del Perú – Nuevos requerimientos para estudios sÃsmicos
Paquete de sistema sÃsmico temporal Es difÃcil cumplir con los requerimientos de la autoridad regulatoria sin datos sÃsmicos. Elimine la incertidumbre y cuantifique su actividad sÃsmica, lo que le permitirá cumplir con los requisitos del Anexo Nº 39 D (Estructura del...
Ontario Legislation – Changes to Regulation 854
Did you know... Recent changes to Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) of the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development can impact your mine. According to the new legislation, all underground mines are required to develop and...
Using Microseismic Data to Identify Weak Geological Features
Background A microseismic monitoring system, consisting of uni- and tri-axial geophones, in an underground stoping mine in Finland, recorded high quality seismic data, including seismic source mechanisms of small events (consistently down to mW=-2.0). Seismic events...
IMS Team in Canada expands
