Mining

Transforming data from the subsurface and infrastructures into an intelligent and actionable projection, to preserve resources, secure infrastructures, and build more sustainable industries. Making mining exploration and operations safer, more sustainable, and more efficient.

 

  • Mining
    • OVERVIEW

      Geophysics offers geologists powerful tools for characterizing the subsurface and identifying potential mineral deposits. In addition with active seismic Sercel with S-scan solution is specialized in passive seismic acquisition providing different methods and a complete, expert service for peace of mining.
      These methods reduce exploration costs and minimize the need for destructive testing and unnecessary excavations, allowing for informed mining decisions and thus reducing environmental impact.

      S-Scan can be deployed at any stage of the project cycle. We provide full integration, from survey design to dashboard delivery an interpretation.
       

      WHY SERCEL

    • Mining
    • The shortest path from data  to decisions:

      Sercel is the specialist in subsoil imaging by collecting detection and monitoring data to help decision-making by obtaining very high definition in-depth images of the underground.

      These images can reveal the different layers of rocks and geological structures, which can be useful to identify formations favorable to mineral deposits.

      S-scan, enables mining asset owners to decide better and faster, while combining operational performance with environmental responsibility. Our methods are easy to deploy, fast to execute, and safe to operate. We deliver precise and intelligent data that reveal the true structure of the subsurface. This data enables our clients to confirm their understanding, mitigate risks, and act with confidence.
      S-scan turns data to Peace of Mine

      S-scan : two complementary approaches

      Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT method)

      Deep geological exploration :

      Improve exploration efficiency by optimizing the drilling process.

      S-scan ANT supports risk mitigation while exploring new areas, combining non-intrusive investigation with predictive insight.

      Exploration depth down to 5000 meters

      Shallow Geotechnical characterization

      Near-surface Geotechnical exploration :

      Improve exploration efficiency by optimizing the drilling process.

      S-scan ANT offers the use of different vibration sources : Hybrid (Uncontrolled or opportunistic sources) or Surface waves induced by trains. 
      It allow to identify Geotechnical risks: Detection and prevention of cavities or Optimization of drilling operations for blasting.

      Depth of subsoil image :  Between 2 and 100 meters

      MetaBlue Land

      Land seismic imaging presents considerable challenges, encompassing issues related to data quality and operational efficiency. Land seismic operations can be slow and expensive, with potential adverse impacts on safety and the environment if executed improperly.

      MetaBlue Land leverages Sercel's cutting-edge land software, unparalleled MEMS-based node technology, innovative land source solutions, and unique land acquisition services to seamlessly integrate data collection and optimize land survey outcomes.

      APPLICATIONS

      WING land acquisition for mining exploration in Kansanshi copper mine

      Sercel is pleased to announce that its state-of-the-art WiNG land acquisition nodes are making a key contribution to a major mining exploration program in Zambia’s Katangan copper-bearing basin.
