CONFERENCE:
  Second International Conference on Underground Mining Technology 
  - The Australian Centre for Geomechanics is delighted to host the Second International Conference on Underground Mining Technology (UMT 2020) Online and in Perth, Australia, 3–4 November 2020.
		
Tue, 03 Nov 2020 08:00 - Online and Perth, Western Australia
		
Associate Professor Johan WesselooDirector, Australian Centre for Geomechanics
Due to the ongoing drive for safer and more productive and economical
mines, there is a need for the practical application of existing
technology and the continual development of new technology. In recent
years, a vast amount of technology development has changed the landscape
of mining geomechanics discipline. Photogrammetric methods and laser
measurement technology allows geotechnical engineers to gather data not
possible before, and the development in drone technology allows them to
gather this data in areas previously not accessible.

Integrated underground communications systems allow for seamless real-
time integration, and personnel tracking systems allow for better
assessment and management of exposure to geotechnical hazards.
Geotechnical engineers now have data at higher resolution with wider
coverage not possible before. However, effective decisions can only be
made if data is turned into information, and knowledge derived from it.
This conference will provide a forum to present and discuss new
technologies and explore practical ways of implementing and expanding
these new technologies to maximise their value within the underground
mining environment.
