ESG has been providing microseismic monitoring solutions to the international mining industry for over 25 years. We have developed an extensive suite of comprehensive monitoring systems that provide engineers with a continuous stream of real-time information critical to planning and hazard assessment.

ESG’s microseismic instrumentation and services helps mining and ground control engineers characterize and understand how the rock mass responds to excavation and extraction operations.

Our turn-key solutions deliver real-time feedback on:

• Activation processes
• Stress conditions and redistribution
• Fracture migration
• Production rates
• Extraction methods

The real-time information obtained from ESG’s mine monitoring systems can be used to:

• Determine location (N,E,D), time and size of ground instabilities
• Assess slope stability (Open-pit applications)
• Assess pillar and ore pass stability (Underground applications)
• Measure maximum peak particle ground velocities and accelerations caused by blasting or large events
• Identify active fractures and faults
• Aid in blast / large event re-entry protocols
• Help identify areas of potential rockburst or roof fall hazard
• Track caving front propagation
