Description

The Institute of Mine Seismology (IMS) is a world-renowned independent research organisation focused on mine safety and exploration. We are the premier provider of microseismic monitoring technology, offering a digital, intelligent, high-resolution seismic monitoring and control system for mines.

Expertise and Experience

Our team of 96 highly qualified staff, including 19 PhDs, 10 MScs, and 38 Bachelors, boasts over 500 years of combined experience. We currently support over 360 customers in 45 countries, with over 70 active IMS seismic monitoring systems in Australia, 50 in South Africa and at least 230 in the rest of the world.

Innovation in Seismic Monitoring

IMS is at the forefront of seismic monitoring technology. We have pioneered the use of ambient seismic noise interferometry for monitoring the stability of underground mines, tailings dams, nuclear storage facilities, and oil/LPG caverns. This innovative method uses naturally occurring vibrations to create virtual seismic sources, providing real-time velocity change monitoring with remarkable accuracy.

Ambient Noise for Tailings Dam Safety

Our groundbreaking research has shown that seismic interferometry can detect internal erosion and increased seepage in tailings dams, even when other methods fail. This technology is currently being applied in real-time to over 40 tailings dams, primarily in Brazil.

Revolutionising Mineral Exploration

With the demand for mineral resources rising, IMS is committed to developing new exploration methods. We pioneered commercial Ambient Noise Tomography (ΑΝΤ) for passive seismic imaging, a low-cost and environmentally friendly approach that eliminates the need for expensive active seismic techniques.

A Legacy of Innovation

Originally instrumental in driving the implementation of passive seismic imaging for exploration, IMS continues to push boundaries. We are actively utilising ΑΝΤ for our own mineral exploration endeavours, shaping the future of the industry.
