recognized and highly utilized modular building application. Additionally, though, companies are looking to PMC for a variety of other surface structures, such as operations centres, mine-dry buildings, and administration facilities, as well as metallurgical labs, pump houses and electrical equipment shelters. Buildings that might traditionally be site-constructed are now being designed and built off-site, meeting the needs for extended lifecycle and durability. The commercial modular construction industry is comprised of two primary sectors; there are companies that specialize in relocatable buildings, and those that specialize in permanent buildings. Industrial mine-site locations and their project scope demands can present a myriad of logistical challenges not found on a typical commercial building site, such as remote locations, high levels of daily surface activity, restricted or timed site access; as well as stringent document control, Q&A and inspection test plans – and most importantly, very rigorous health and safety protocols. It is prudent to match your facility requirements and site logistics to companies with similar prior experiences and resources. WORKING THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS A successful modular project requires some advance collaborative planning to avoid pitfalls that can occur when attempting to convert a conventionally designed building project over to a modular project too late in the game. The design team should consult with or include a qualified modular builder who can guide the design process and optimize the use of modularization. While permanent modular construction can meet most any requirements for aesthetics, building science, mechanical and electrical systems, life safety and life-cycle durability – there are certain conditions inherent to the elemental design principles that need to be considered. The module layout needs to be completed by the modular builder, with the input of other stakeholders in the event some minor changes are needed. The final “Modular Key Plan”, as it is commonly known, is then “frozen” and becomes an essential part of the structural design process.
PORTABLE PTZ CAMERA SYSTEMS For drill positioning, stope/brow inspection, remote operation and process monitoring.
• The rugged Pan, Tilt and 36x zoom camera allow for inspection and positioning from a safe distance. • Mines across North America use this system for a variety of applications including remote mucking, drill positioning, stope inspection, and process monitoring. • The High Definition camera system and monitor packs down neatly into a 5 gallon pail and a rugged waterproof hard case for protection and ease of transport. • A cost effective video solution that should be on the shelf in any maintenance, drilling or production office. • The integrated Li-polymer battery allows for full shift operation, and provides for quick swap out when required for longer operations.
