APPLICATIONS
ES&S orehole accelerometers are primarily designed and applied in mine seismology and ground vibration monitoring. Three different configurations are available uniaxial, biaxial or triaxial. Accelerometers are preferred where high frequency, high acceleration ground motion is evident. Individual borehole accelerometer units can be permanently grouted into position whereby they can be monitored remotely. Our seismic sensors are compatible with most seismic recorders currently established on the market.

APPLICATIONS
VW Load Cells are used to measure loads in anchors, tiebacks, rockbolts, tunnel support, piles etc. The most common application in mining is to test and measure loads on rock bolts. This data is used to verify bolts are installed correctly and the types of loads they are experiencing. Manufactured using special steel, the load cells are designed to function under adverse and severe environmental conditions.

FEATURES

APPLICATIONS
Piezometers are used to measure groundwater elevations and pore-water pressures in borehols, embankments, concrete structures, pipe lines, wells, stand pipes, compacted fills etc. Designed to be embedded in soil, earth/rock, fills and concrete, the piezometer can be inserted in boreholes and small diameter pipes. Special models have the filter replaced with a threaded adapter to permit it to be coupled directly to hydraulic pressure lines. A typical application is uplift pressure measurement in dams.

APPLICATIONS
Strain gauged rockbolts can be used to measure the distribution of Rockbolt loads for design purposes, a valuable tool for monitoring support system performance against design specification. Strain gauged rockbolts are suitable for local or remote reading in potentially explosive atmospheres. Bolt loads can be monitored along each bolt by the use of multiple strain gauges. Normally placed in an array across the excavation as part of the standard bolt pattern, they are typically installed at the face of the excavation as part of the normal support cycle.
