/Environmental Monitoring

Strata deploys the latest environmental monitoring technologies to continuously monitor and manage the conditions of the underground working environment. These technologies provide real-time data and insights, along with active warning alerts to ensure the health and safety of teams working underground.

Monitoring & Remote Control

  • 001

    Gas Detection

    Detecting and monitoring toxic and flammable gases to safeguard the health and safety of workers and the environment

    Real-time remote data and early danger warnings

    Audio/Visual warning alarms underground and notifications at the surface

    Wired and wireless equipment options

    Multi-sensor and single-sensor devices

  • 002

    Dust Monitoring

    State-of-the-art equipment and technologies measure the precise concentration and particulate matter (PM) size composition of airborne dust

    All hazardous dust including respirable crystalline silica

    Data stored over time to provide analysis of trends and identification of problem areas

  • 003

    Other Measurable
    Variables

    Toxic fumes, temperature, humidity, pressure, air velocity, vibration

  • 004

    Airflow

    Adequate ventilation and airflow are essential for maintaining safe air quality. They help dilute hazardous gases, fumes, and contaminants, control dust, and regulate temperatures.

    In emergency situations, proper ventilation and airflow are crucial for smoke extraction in the event of a fire.

    Airflow sensors provide real-time data on airflow patterns, velocity, and volume, while immediate alarms alert users to potential issues.

  • 005

    Rock Monitoring

    Continuous remote monitoring of ground stability/movement and the integrity of rock structures

    Sensors provide automated notifications and advance warning of excessive displacement

    Potential issues can be identified and corrected

  • 006

    Fire Detection

    Fire detection systems utilize heat and smoke detectors or carbon monoxide gas detectors to identify the risk of fire

    Linear heat detectors monitor temperature along a cable

    Real-time data and automated alarm systems alert personnel and initiate necessary actions to mitigate the risk

    Wireless and battery-powered, the devices communicate on a wireless mesh network

SafeSITE Software Platform

  • 001

    Data Acquisition
    and Analysis

    Data from all underground devices and instruments is collected and analyzed in real-time on Strata’s SafeSITE platform

  • 002

    Interactive
    Interface

    The multi-layered user interface (UI) includes centralized interactive maps of the underground facility for system-level monitoring and the ability to zoom into individual devices, equipment, and personnel

  • 003

    Monitoring
    and Control

    Monitor and manage all underground systems and individual devices from the surface

    Location, position, and operating status of underground equipment

    Battery voltage, setpoint configuration, and Input/Output commands

    Overall system/network health

  • 004

    Remote Control
    & Automation

    Remote and automated control of underground ventilation systems through automatic control of fan activity

  • 005
