The Key Aspects That Will Drive The Mining Industry: Sustainability And Optimising Efficiency

    MADRID, SPAIN, January 28, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mining companies have a huge impact on a nation's economy as well as on its environment. One of the countries most dependent on the mining industry is Australia. The share of exports of this industry is more than 50%. But not only is the dependency on this sector one of the most named topics, but also the influence on the environment. To support more sustainable mining many companies have improved their products in an environmental friendly way, for example there are tool cases that are reusable, in an effort to reduce expensive and unnecessary duplication and waste.

But not only the topic of sustainability is important, but also the topic of optimization of production to save costs and resources. Especially at the moment, with the falling of the oil prices the need for a more efficient workflow is particularly vital.

The development of new and more efficient borehole surveying instruments is required. At the upcoming trade fair "Mining INDABA 2015" the latest tools for the mining industry will be staged.

In the area of rig alignment Stockholm Precision Tools' (SPT) will present its Rig GyroAligner , which provides highly accurate and reliable data in drill rig alignment. This tool doesn't only help de worker, but also helps to save costs of resources.

But the Rig GyroAligner is not the only tool, which is part of the collection of borehole surveying instruments offered by SPT. There is also the GyroTracer Directional, which is a highly accurate North Seeking Gyro survey and orientation tool. It can speed up to 150 m/min while simultaneously sending data to the surface equipment. This GyroTracer is one of the most all-round and versatile North Seeking Gyro instruments on the market. Unlike other continuous gyro systems, it does not require any surface alignment or surface calibration prior to survey.

Another helpful directional survey tool is the GyroLogic, which uses Fiber-Optic based Gyro to find direction. This System with 32mm OD, operates in Wireline and Memory mode. With drop capability thanks to its rugged design can be operated even in open hole applications providing azimuth data in magnetically disturbed environments. This system can be run in a variety of applications from shallow borehole to deep borehole surveying, single shot/multi shot and continuous mode.

The advantages of all these new tools are that they are easy to handle, they save you a lot of time and they are minimizing human errors. This helps to improve efficiency and reduces the negative impacts on the environment.
