Unlock 99% Accuracy: RTK High Precision GPS Ensures Perfect Grade Control and Compliance to Mine Design

RTK-High-Precision-GPS

RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) High Precision GPS technology comes is primarily used to achieve centimeter level precision in the mining industry – this is mostly required for when mining in heterogeneous strata where grade control is very important. It is also used to ensure that Dozers and Graders are building benches and ramps to the mine design.

With its remarkable accuracy and reliability, RTK High Precision GPS is revolutionizing mining operations like never before. In this article, we will delve into its transformative power in the mining industry.

The Power of RTK High Precision GPS

RTK High Precision GPS is a cutting-edge technology that provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy in real-time. It works by utilizing a network of reference stations and a base station, combined with advanced algorithms, to deliver unparalleled precision. This high accuracy level enables mining operators to achieve new levels of efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

GroundHog uses this technology on Blast Hole Drills for better hole accuracy and on Dozers and Graders to ensure compliance to mine design for better production and safety.

Some of the companies that provide the units of this technology include Trimble, Topcon, EMLID and Eos (their Arrow line). GroundHog uses Trimble and Eos devices, based on device availability in a particular region.

Enhanced Equipment Navigation and Control

One of the most significant advantages of this technology in mining is its ability to provide precise equipment navigation and control. By integrating the GPS receivers into mining machinery, operators gain real-time visibility and accurate positioning information. This empowers them to guide their equipment along designated paths with utmost precision, even in challenging terrains or complex ore bodies.

The centimeter-level accuracy of RTK High Precision GPS ensures that mining equipment can follow precise routes, minimizing overlaps, optimizing excavation paths, and reducing unnecessary wear and tear. This not only boosts operational efficiency but also leads to substantial cost savings by minimizing material wastage and reducing rework.

Improved Safety and Operational Efficiency

Safety is paramount in mining operations, and RTK High Precision GPS plays a pivotal role in enhancing safety standards. By accurately tracking the location of equipment and personnel, mining operators can ensure that workers stay clear of potential hazards and dangerous zones. Real-time positioning information provided by RTK High Precision GPS allows for effective monitoring and rapid response in case of emergencies or unexpected events.

Moreover, the enhanced operational efficiency achieved through RTK High Precision GPS positively impacts safety. By optimizing equipment routes, reducing idle time, and maximizing productivity, mining operators can minimize human errors, fatigue-related incidents, and equipment collisions. The result is a safer and more efficient working environment for all personnel involved.

Advanced Surveying and Mapping Capabilities

Accurate surveying and mapping are vital components of successful mining operations, and RTK High Precision GPS excels in this domain. The precise positioning data obtained through RTK technology enables mining professionals to create highly detailed and accurate topographic maps, models, and surveys.

By integrating RTK High Precision GPS into surveying equipment, mining operators can rapidly capture precise location data, identify mineral deposits, and detect potential geological obstacles. This valuable information empowers them to optimize mine designs, plan drilling and blasting operations effectively, and streamline overall mining processes. The result is improved decision-making, increased operational efficiency, and enhanced resource recovery.
