Ensuring the stability of bolted structures in deep mining environments is a critical challenge. At The Mosaic Company’s Esterhazy K3 mine, located 1,020 meters underground, accessibility for inspections is limited, and every downtime event has a significant impact on operations.
KRABO® has addressed these challenges by installing KRABO® NetworkingBolts, designed for real-time remote monitoring. The solution includes:
– ASTM A325 bolts with integrated sensors
– Wireless connectivity via the KRABO® Gateway
– Cloud-based data transmission to reduce on-site inspections
– Resistance to extreme conditions
– Battery life of up to 10 years
By reducing manual inspections and enabling continuous monitoring, KRABO®’s technology improves both safety and operational efficiency in mining.
