System Description
The system provides real-time monitoring of stratigraphic roof and floor clay mapping in potash mines.
The 550A Ground Penetrating Radar PC (GPR PC) system consists of the GPR PC unit, an optional power supply/battery backup unit and cables to connect to two Noggin radar units and an encoder on a distance wheel.
The GPR PC is located in the cab of a mining machine to provide the operator with a real-time display of stratigraphic roof and floor clay mapping. Two Noggin GPR units are located on the mining machine, one in contact with the roof and the other in contact with the floor. A distance wheel is located adjacent to the roof GPR unit to provide a measurement of linear distance traveled. Cables are supplied with the GPR PC to connect to 12 Volt DC power or to the optional power supply unit, the two Noggin units and to the encoder on the distance wheel.
