MDA Continues To Provide Critical Information To Monitor Surface Deformation In Mines
(22 September 2011) MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., a provider of essential information solutions, announced today that it has signed contracts in excess of CA$990,000 with Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB (LKAB) and a leading potash producer to provide critical information from RADARSAT-2 for monitoring surface deformation at and in the vicinity of their mines.
The contract with LKAB extends an existing agreement for a further three years.
MDA will apply advanced RADARSAT-2 technology to detect subtle surface changes, weather independent, over a broad area. Early detection of changes, such as subsidence, allows remedial actions to happen before problems escalate and impact the environmental safety or production activities of the mine. MDA will also provide analytical reports that compare the historical to the current situation. These reports are valuable support documents required by regulatory organizations.
