According to overseas media reports, Mark Barry, a scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Institute (CSIRO) in Australia, said that Australian scientists have successfully developed a new type of equipment that can make mining operations safer.
This device can predict pit collapse that may occur in a pit, and can also determine rock structure defects and detect seismic activity.
Barry pointed out that since 1990, mining accidents in Australia have caused a total of 230 deaths. This new technological invention can reduce the number of casualties in mines and improve the design of mine pits. This new facility has been tested in underground pits in the eastern part of Australia and other countries.
