Underground Wireless Standard for Totten Mine

In a strategic project for Vale's Totten Mine, BESTECH played a crucial role in developing an underground wireless standard. Our team’s focus on engineering design and meticulous preparation of drawings led to the creation of a universal standards document. This document not only serves as a guide for current installations but also sets a benchmark for future wireless infrastructure projects at the mine. Our work ensures consistency, efficiency, and high-quality communications in Totten Mine's challenging underground environment.

Vale required a comprehensive engineering design for an underground wireless standard at Totten Mine. The project involved not only the technical aspects of electrical, automation, and communications but also the creation of a universal standards document for future installations.

BESTECH provided the engineering design and prepared detailed drawings for the wireless infrastructure at Totten Mine. Our work included a thorough review by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and the completion of construction packages. A significant outcome of this project was the development of a standards document, designed to guide all future wireless installations at the mine.

Key Features:

  • Engineering design and drawing preparation for underground wireless infrastructure.
  • Review and approval by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA).
  • Creation of construction packages for implementation.
  • Development of a comprehensive standards document for future installations.

The Vale underground wireless standard project at Totten Mine resulted in a robust framework for wireless communications in the mine. This standardization will streamline future installations and ensure consistency and quality in wireless infrastructure across the mine, showcasing BESTECH’s capability in creating comprehensive and sustainable solutions.
