Blast & mining
Kaboom
Real-time air blast and vibration monitoring for Australian mine and quarry sites, from the field unit to the web portal. Compliant with AS 2187.2-2006.
Kaboom records air blast and ground vibration in the field and sends the results to secure cloud storage. The Benchmark web portal shows each event, and SMS or email goes out within seconds of a trigger. It is built for Australian mine and quarry sites and complies with AS 2187.2-2006.
How it works
- Real-time 24-bit measurement with a triaxial digital sensor
- Secure, redundant backup storage that complies with ISO 27001
- Traceable results from raw measurements to validated events
- Notifications delivered within seconds of a triggered event
Web portal
- High-resolution data imported automatically from triggered blast events
- Trigger criteria set by the user
- SMS and email of monitoring status and blast events, including peak data
- Retrospective event detection from continuous low-resolution data
- Tables and graphs for checking results against limits
- Field unit and camera status across the monitoring network
- Cross-referencing with blasting schedules
- Automatic monthly blasting trend and KPI reports
- Still images from zoom or wide-angle cameras, captured on a timer and on blast events
Field unit
- Vector Peak Particle Velocity calculated on board
- Triaxial vibration and overpressure sensors can sit more than 1000 metres from the base unit
- Sensors are hot-swappable and calibration-ready between head units
- Continuous monitoring with an 11-day high-resolution buffer, expandable to 88 days
- GPS time synchronisation to within 1 microsecond, position to within 2.5 m
- Solar power with about 5 days of runtime without sunlight
Designed, manufactured and supported in Australia.
