UNDERGROUND MINING
Communication, identification, and monitoring where not even light reaches.
Underground operation demands a technology infrastructure that withstands humidity, dust, vibration, and kilometers of galleries. We design it and operate it as if it were our own.
THE ENVIRONMENT RULES
Underground, everything changes: coverage, power, maintenance, evacuation.
Gallery after gallery, equipment lives in conditions that don't exist in an office: a damp, abrasive environment, rock dust, constant vibration, long distances with no power, specific regulations.
Mining regulations require personnel counting on every shift and evacuation communication. Productive operation demands that same equipment monitoring pumps, conveyors, and ventilation.
Our infrastructure serves both purposes at once. Personnel safety and productive operation share the network, share the data, and share the monitoring.
Everyone who goes in comes out.
CAPABILITIES
Six layers that keep underground operation running.
The same six layers as in any critical project, adapted to the real conditions of an active mine.
01
Underground communications
Digital radio, telephony, and data covering entire galleries. Wireless repeaters, control-room fiber, operational priority for evacuation.
Communication that has to be there.
02
Real-time personnel counting
Active identification of every worker. Listed by shift, by section, and by gallery. Available at the surface instantly.
The first thing you ask when something goes wrong.
03
Environmental Monitoring
Gas, ventilation, temperature, and process variables at every critical point. Technical alarms integrated with frontline communication.
Detect before, not after.
04
Video and monitoring
IP cameras at entrances, technical rooms, and critical points. Unified operation with identification and alarms.
See it to react in time.
05
Automation and remote control
Pumps, conveyors, fans, and gates operated from the control room and supervised from the field.
The field in the control room.
06
24/7 continuous operation
Managed infrastructure service, with measurable SLAs and specialized response. The mine never stops at month-end.
The SLA is signed to respond.
METHODOLOGY
Four phases so the mine runs on technology that doesn't fail.
No surprises midway through the project. No dumping leftover catalog gear on you.
01
Design
Site survey, coverage assessment, risk analysis, and regulatory requirements. We come away with an executable project aligned to your shifts and your production system.
02
Deployment
Installation coordinated with mining activity. No stopping production wherever that can be avoided. Provisional and final layers designed from the very first plan.
03
Integration
Identification, communication, monitoring, and supervision talking to each other from day one. Our own platform connecting everything.
04
Operation
24/7 support, preventive maintenance, expansions, and continuous improvement. The infrastructure stays running, not just installed.
