Energy Groups Study Quakes Around Gas Fields

The SRC has been engaged by a consortium of energy companies to monitor the seismicity in the North Perth Basin around several natural gas fields. Some of these fields, around 300km north of Perth, were discovered in the 1970’s and 80’s, and now, due to advancements in hydraulic fracturing technology, present potentially commercially viable…

Jenolan Caves earthquake vault recommissioned

After 30 years sitting unused, one of the earliest earthquake monitoring vaults in Australia has recently been recommissioned as an operational seismic station with a modern seismograph using GPS timing and 3G data telemetry. Originally commissioned in 1959 along with two other underground vaults in the Burragorang and Upper Nepean State Parks, the Jenolan vault formed…

Construction Vibration Monitoring

Seismographs aren’t just for earthquakes. Vibration monitoring is performed every day in the mining and construction industries, using recorders like our Kelunji teamed with geophones, accelerometers, and microphones (for monitoring air pressure from blasts). In fact, the Kelunji EchoPro was born from a need by Orica Mining Services to have…
