How we support three diamond open-pit mines
About the client
Sakha, Yakutia
3 open-pit mines
Area: 3 km²; depth: up to 272 m
Large companies use a wireless mesh network based on Hitachi Energy Tropos to communicate with BelAZ haul trucks, excavators and other equipment. However, mine layouts are constantly changing:
— The pits expand
— Some areas are mothballed while others are developed
— Terrain affects coverage quality, which must be checked at least once a year.
Annual coverage audit
To maintain reliable connectivity in changing conditions, we survey the mines annually:
Nyurbinsky, Botuobinsky, Maysky and adjacent facilities (waste dumps and ore stockpiles)
What the network audit includes
1. Assessment of network system condition
2. Coverage quality measurements at key locations
3. Mobile equipment testing
Results:
The client receives up-to-date information on the network and equipment.
We propose and implement improvements, reducing downtime and troubleshooting time.
