Reduce travel times
Thanks to our EMTS team
Situation
The Constancia mine is a Peruvian copper mine operated by Hudbay Minerals since 2013. The mine experienced a problem when evacuating mining teams during blasting processes as the mine construction advanced, delaying the return to work.
Challenge
To establish an optimal blasting process radius of influence capable of reducing the travel time of mining teams and ensuring their safety.
Customer testimonial
“An Excellent contribution to the operation, helping optimize travel times and distances for the mining team.” – Pedro Gandarillas Barriga, Head of Drilling and Blasting at HUDBAY
Solution
Our EMTS team developed a technology to mathematically model rock projections using parabolic cinematic estimates. The system combines the use of high-speed cameras, specialized software, and GPS as measurement instruments.
Thanks to this technology, we can:
- Optimize mining team travel times.
- Determine maximum rock projection ranges.
