Breakthrough in Technology for Locating Trapped Miners
“Miners trapped underground in rock fall.” Headlines such as this are all too familiar in the mining fraternity, particularly in South Africa where deep hard rock mines such as those in the gold industry predominate. Booyco Electronics’ new Trapped Miner Locator promises to make a hugely positive impact by facilitating and accelerating the process of establishing the whereabouts of miners trapped underground.
Advanced Tamping Device a Godsend to the Mining Industry
Tamping is a legal requirement, designed to contain and distribute explosive energy in the blast hole, reducing the risk of fire hazard. It maximises the effect of an explosion, concentrating it into the rock instead of allowing expanding gases to escape through the blast hole. Clay plugs are most commonly used, but when a misfire occurs, they are notoriously difficult to remove. This is not only time consuming, but costly.
Booyco Electronics has developed an ingenious solution to overcome these problems and provide considerable added advantages which have been enthusiastically welcomed by the mining industry
Saving Costs and Increasing Driver Safety With Monitoring System
According to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) in the US, more than 50% of adults have admitted to driving while drowsy at least once in the past year and these numbers are unlikely to improve. Chronic sleep deprivation is especially common amongst shift workers, who account for 20% of the US work force and have twice the number of highway accidents as day workers.
