Ground parts interferometer IBIS-FB

high-resolution

Slope monitoring radar has emerged in the last ten years as à leading edge tool tor monitorin8 slope movements in open-pItmines. with IElS-FB, radar techrology brings turther benehts to the surtace mining industry.BIS-FB is a revoluionary remote sensing monitoring system designed to support the assessment of blasting operations andcontrol tneir impact Doth on the pit siopes and nearby structures.Based on microwave interferometry technology. 1BIS-FB integrates standard vibration monitoring systems providing8remote broad area measurements of ground vibrations with high accuracy. After every single blast 1BIS-FB measuresa range of performance indexes at multiple points at long distances, even allowing data to be received from withininaccessible areas that traditional monitorig systems can t monitor. The user will be provided with broad area measurements of • Displacement, velocity and acceleration trends over time • Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) • Spectral distribution • PPV trend vs. scaled dIstance IBIS-FB simultaneously acquires a very large data set at various distances without the need to physically place any sensoror marker on the slope. The radar system not only enables frequent analysis of ground vibrations based on Peak ParticleVelocity and the associated frequency, but also allows PPV trend vs. scaled distance to be modeled and predicted witha single, remote measurement. Interpreting the results is made easy through the availability of the most common blastinganalysis criteria (Richards & Moore, USBM, OSM) as well as customized tools. Improved safety, production optimization andSupport for mine plannig and hazard mitigation strategies will be ensured.
