Specialized Solutions Tailored to your specific needs

Packaged system designed to provide water and mud levels in underground sumps. Local and remote alarming and display options available for notification of water level to control pumps, and mud level, to trigger sump cleanout response by your Operations team.

This system is the standalone component of our full Underground Pumping Control solution.

Building on our Mud Level Detection solution, we can design, build, and install a control system for local control, remote control, and monitoring of your water management system in underground mining applications. Our unique approach minimizes physical I/O, reducing cost and panel size requirements, while adding insight to equipment health. Single or Multi-Pump systems, local HMI, cascading control between levels, and local/remote SCADA accessibility. Soft start and VFD options available. Built-in advanced diagnostics for instruments and motor control devices. Plugged and broken pipe detection, along with sump and/or tank mud level diagnostics.

Our team of skilled technicians and programmers have years of experience in designing, specifying and installing automation equipment and programs specific to mining applications for shotcrete and backfill plant retrofit or upgrade applications. OEM systems are typically lackluster and provide the bare minimums for plant operation. We are PLC system agnostic (our standard default options include Rockwell or Opto22). We have a large amount of knowledge around instruments that just plain work for these demanding applications. We can help you make decisions up front, minimizing maintenance costs  and plant downtime in the long run. Wireless silo telemetry add-ons optional.

We have been designing stench release systems for underground mines for more than 20 years. As technology progressed, so did our designs. We believe we have the best and most innovative stench release system available. Modular for ease of local or off-site maintenance and redundancy built in. Stench neutralization and line purge available. Cl. V valve shutoff for leak-free piece of mind. Built-in local and remote controlled release via pushbuttons, HMI, and PLC connections. Additional I/O available for local drift utilities monitoring or access gate controls as needed. If you have ever been responsible for maintaining a stench system in a mine, this system will exceed all of your expectations for ease of use, connection, and long-term maintenance. Systems ship ready to install at your site. Modbus- TCP/IP or OPC U/A communications connections for remote SCADA connection available.

Commercial gate controllers do not stand up to the rigors of a mining environment. We have built a networkable/PLC controllable system designed to integrate seamlessly with your SCADA  for local and remote gate control. We use actuation equipment designed for use in mining environments. No air required, just a 120VAC power connection. Quick releasable, counterbalanced gate arms for emergency access. Pairs well with our Automated Stench Release solution for a complete portal access package. Additional option for underground horizontal gates where non-vertical opening is needed. Easily sourced replacement gate arms. System ships in sections for ease of installation, due to weight of final package. Two model heights available, one free-standing, and one for mounting on a concrete "Lego" or "jersey" barrier. Gate arm length is field adjustable for lengths of 5' to 20', with 12'-15' lengths being most common. Gate arm ships on short sections for freight cost savings.
