Rock Teck advances site preparation for lithium converter project in Germany
Once complete, the Guben converter will be the first of its kind in Europe, with expected annual production of 24,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide.
Atlas Copco’s new unique High Precision Tunnelling (HPT) concept points the way to further process refinement and greater cost efficiency. HPT features seven innovative options for drill rigs and machines, based on the latest technology and tunnelling know-how.
Tunnel Manager comprises the latest advances in computer technology
Professional planning tool
Tunnel Manager is the intelligent PC-software that enables the worksite office to provide operational support to Atlas Copco Boomer rigs equipped with the Rig Control System (RCS). Tunnel Manager is used to plan, store and evaluate data for the drilling process.
Minimum timeloss and more drilling hours
Good communication with the underground drill rig is one of the keys to efficient tunnelling. Atlas Copco’s Rig Remote Access (RRA) option ensures rapid and secure transfer of the latest data to and from the drill rig – as well as secure storage of all necessary information.
Efficient precision
Time is money. Precision is also money. With Total Station Navigation (TSN), the rig can rapidly be navigated into precisely the right position – every time, and with limited need of surveyors.
Save time and money
In tunnelling, the right profile from start saves a considerable amount of time and money. The Atlas Copco Tunnel Profiler is an intelligent 3D-scanning system for rapid and high-precision tunnel profiling.
Rapid acquisition of vital drilling data
By applying new technology, we acquire an increasingly detailed understanding of the rock mass, for more efficient tunnelling and drift mining. The Measurement While Drilling (MWD) technique has enjoyed rapid development, through computerization of the drill rigs.
Always a correct bolt pattern
Bolt Angle Indication is support software that gives guidance of the rock bolting operation in mining and tunnelling projects. The Bolt Angle Indication system focuses on guiding the operator to install bolts with the correct distance between the bolts.
Safe rock support system
Bolt Plan Navigation is support software that enables planning, guidance and logging of the rock bolting operation in mining and tunnelling projects. To use a correct bolt pattern adapted for existing rock conditions, is essential to obtain a safe rock support system.
