Deep Tunnel Production 5m Away From Face
FY 2024-25 · 2025-01-01
Summary
This Project encompasses the design and implementation of the following elements for the commercialized version of the Tunnel Load Master (TLM): the command and control software, and the batch manufacturing engineering model of the fabrication components. This includes the design from concept to production-applicable, TLM matched advanced mine tunneling cycle. This new approach to tunneling in mines, functioning while the personnel are a minimum of 5 meters from the tunnel face throughout the entire cycle, enables the design of a new drill and blast series of tasks to advance the tunnel face forward, far shorter cycle time compared to the industry standard method.

Description
This Project encompasses the design and implementation of the following elements for the commercialized version of the Tunnel Load Master (TLM): the command and control software, and the batch manufacturing engineering model of the fabrication components. This includes the design from concept to production-applicable, TLM matched advanced mine tunneling cycle.

Description (French)
Ce projet englobe la conception et la mise en œuvre des éléments suivants pour la version commercialisée du Tunnel Load Master (TLM) : le logiciel de commande et de contrôle, et le modèle d’ingénierie de fabrication par lots des composants de fabrication. Cela inclut la conception du concept au cycle de creusement de tunnels miniers avancé et adapté au TLM, applicable à la production. Cette nouvelle approche de la construction de tunnels dans les mines, qui fonctionne alors que le personnel se trouve à au moins 5 mètres du devant du tunnel pendant tout le cycle, permet de concevoir une nouvelle série de tâches de forage et de dynamitage pour faire avancer le chantier, avec un temps de cycle bien plus court que la méthode standard de l’industrie.
