But...Don't comment on this if I am close... ;)<br /><br />But I believe, the mining company has vast quantities of data taken from ground cores and ultrasonic readings, so they know the composition of the ground very well. My guess by this picture is that they are using the composition data along with known structural properties of the various types of soil to generate an interactive ground map showing where it is safe to dig. This allows them to plan in advance the safest and most efficient route to continue digging.Ajmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985928729302303917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779956188045272690.post-12960543579765929442014-01-19T23:00:54.144-05:002014-01-19T23:00:54.144-05:00I cannot comment on that, I am sorry.I cannot comment on that, I am sorry.Miguel Ceperohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586513342346629237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779956188045272690.post-36891689370930094992014-01-19T22:57:45.675-05:002014-01-19T22:57:45.675-05:00I'd love to hear about this in more detail?
