Description

[0001] A system and a method for monitoring the impact of seismic events on the ground surface

[0002] Field of technology

[0003] The invention relates to a system and a method for monitoring the impact of seismic events on the ground surface, presenting data in e.g. graphical form. In particular, the invention relates to monitoring the impact of underground mining operations on the ground surface and the buildings located on it.

[0004] Background

[0005] The exploitation of underground deposits causes surface distortions, as well as vibrations and tremors in the rock mass, posing a threat to the stability of buildings and infrastructure on the ground surface. The occurrence of seismic phenomena that have a direct impact on the safety and comfort of life in areas affected by mining activities creates a need for solutions for tracking the impact of these phenomena on the ground surface.

[0006] The issue of monitoring the impact of underground mining operations on the ground surface and buildings, due to the potential threat to public safety, has been the subject of research for many years. The vast majority of them are based on expert analysis of data from seismic sensors placed in the area where the tremors occur.

[0007] Application of direct or remote measurement technologies, using specialized sensors, combined with modern information technologies, enable monitoring, analysis and visualization of seismic events impact, having both natural and anthropological origins on the ground surface.

[0008] A Polish patent PL230226B1 describes a method and system for assessing the risk of high- energy shocks generated by underground mining. According to the invention, a method for assessing the occurrence of a threat of high-energy tremors generated by underground exploitation consists in simultaneously performing, in strict time and spatial coincidence, measurements of vibrations on the surface from three-component vibration sensors and measurements of underground tremors parameters from a mine seismic system for tremors location, and measurements of displacements on the surface from three-component surface point displacement sensors, periodically corrected by a total station measurement set, and recording these measurements in measurement data repositories of the analytical microprocessor. Datasets of these measurements are then subjected to processing in an analytical microprocessor and a prediction of the occurrence of high-energy shock hazards in the space-time domain is made by estimating critical phenomena, taking into account the association of observations in the form of a quasi deterministic and spatio-temporally extensive process of rock mass deformation and paraseismic phenomena, in the form of short-term vibrations of rock mass particles in the time and frequency domain. Their cumulative impact has a functional character over locally aggregated space. The system according to the invention consists of a processing center, where a processing server is located, to which a wireless communication modem is connected, an analytical system and a mine seismic system for locating tremors, which is connected by wire to seismometric sensors. Measuring sets are built in the observed mining area. In the area not subject to deformation under the influence of mining exploitation, a total station measuring set is built in, equipped with an automatic total station with a laser alidade, to which the total station's satellite navigation receiver and a wireless communication modem are connected.

[0009] From a US patent US7425902B2 is known a system and method for monitoring and tracking transients caused by geological events. The system consists of a sensor array, having multiple geological activity sensors, adapted to receive positioning signals from one or more satellites orbiting the Earth and adapted to receive a resolution-enhancing signal from at least one reference station. Geological activity sensors are further adapted to measure movement activity. The system includes a central monitoring system adapted to communicate with the sensor array, in which the sensor array measures motion activity at multiple locations and transmits time-stamped data characterizing motion activity at multiple locations to the central monitoring system, which is further adapted to correlate the time-stamped data and track the motion and inertial forces experienced by multiple geological activity sensors over time.

[0010] Publicly available information on seismic events in underground mining areas mainly concerns their magnitude, location of epicenter and amplitude of vibrations. The information presented is incomprehensible to the average viewer without specialized knowledge of geophysics. Understanding the effects of seismic events and their impact on the land surface requires specialized knowledge. Consequently, obtaining such information is costly and time-consuming, thus limited for the average consumer. Growing public awareness of the possible impact of seismic events, of natural as well as anthropological origin, on buildings and infrastructure, raises the need to provide accessible and comprehensible information to the average public on the consequences of seismic events that have occurred.

[0011] It is therefore a need to create a solution that provides the user, who does not have expertise in geophysics, with a homogeneous and spatially related set of geographic data, presented in graphical form, covering the impacts generated by high-energy tremors on the land surface.

[0019] The advantage of the solution according to the invention is continuous and automatic operation mode and possibility of current visualization in graphic form on the information portal of the changes occurring on the ground surface due to seismic shocks of natural and anthropological origin.

[0020] Analyzing data from seismic sensors, system continuously monitors the situation in the area and, if an event occurs, starts downloading global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data from the memory of high-frequency receivers. In the absence of automation, it would be necessary to continuously transmit, collect and process redundant high-frequency data on the system servers, which, due to the very large size of the data, would require a large amount of computing power and energy. Consequently, continuous logging and processing of data collected by the measurement infrastructure would be difficult and costly.

[0021] The advantage of combined processing of data obtained from GNSS and PSInSAR technology is to increase the reliability of the results.

[0026] Detailed description

[0027] System for monitoring the impact of seismic events on the ground surface, according to the invention, consists of three main elements: measurement infrastructure, database and computation layer and data presentation layer.

[0028] The measurement infrastructure includes seismic sensors, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, and a satellite radar interferometry system (PsInSAR) that images the shock area from two orbits.

[0029] Accelerographs were used as a seismic sensor. According to the invention system includes at least one seismic vibration sensor 11 located in the area where the shocks occur. Furthermore, in order to obtain a constant datum and to develop the distribution of vibration parameters of the ground medium, the system includes at least one reference seismic vibration sensor 12 located outside the area where the shocks occur. Data from accelerographs is sent wirelessly to the data server. Data from seismic sensors is recorded continuously, at a frequency of 200 Hz. To ensure continuity of observations, a copy of the observation data is saved in the accelerograph memory, which allows to receive data via the FTP server in the event of interruptions in communication with the server. For each seismic vibration sensor, thresholds have been defined, beyond which the system signals a seismic event with a pre-defined impact strength. In an embodiment of the invention, this is an acceleration exceeding 50 mm / sec2The task of seismic vibration sensors is to detect a shock and send measurements to the infrastructure that performs computations and presents data to the system user. Detection of a shock of a specific value, exceeding a given threshold, causes the system to be triggered and defined data processing modules to be launched.

[0030] Application in the invention of measurement technology using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver is to observe deformations on the ground surface, taking place during, as well as after a seismic shock has occurred. According to the invention, system includes at least one global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver 13, located in the area where the shocks occur. The receiver's antenna is mounted on a mast permanently fixed, either directly or indirectly, to the ground surface. In addition, for a time-invariant datum, the system includes at least one global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reference receiver 14, which is located outside the area where the shocks occur. Data from the receivers is sent continuously to the data server at a frequency of 1 Hz. Similar to accelerograph data, GNSS receiver data is stored in internal memory at 20 Hz frequency.

[0031] The satellite radar interferometry system (PSInSAR) 15, using time series, enables remote sensing of millimeter-scale ground displacements. In order to provide enough scatterers for the PSInSAR system, two-way corner reflectors were placed in areas devoid of natural stable scatterers, in the area where shocks occur. Their task is to complement the network of natural, stable scatterers necessary for processing radar interferometry data. Comer reflectors are able to change direction in the horizontal and vertical planes.

[0032] Second component of the system - database and computation layer 2 contains a number of components in the form of databases and modules, running in dedicated application containers, processing data from the measurement infrastructure into a form that will be presented graphically to the user via data presentation layer.

[0033] According to the invention, database and computation layer 2 includes file database 41 where periodically collected data from seismic sensors, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers and satellite radar interferometry system (PSInSAR) is saved. In addition, it records information about the events recorded by accelerographs and the analog seismic data processed by the pre-computation layer. The file database 41 also records processed high-resolution data from the global navigation satellite system (HR-GNSS).

[0034] The database and computation layer includes a diagnostics layer 52 that performs diagnostics on the measurement infrastructure. The diagnostic data is stored in a relational database. The diagnostics layer 52 also checks the continuity of measurements from seismic sensors and, if gaps in data is detected, fills in the data in the file database.

[0035] Another component of the database and computation layer is system trigger module 42. Its task is to activate the system upon receipt of shock information from the seismic sensor. This module creates an entry in relational database about the event. It also runs a pre-computation layer 53 to convert the analog signal from the accelerograph into digital data, which is stored in a file database. The pre-computation layer 53 supports applications that convert analog seismic data to digital data. The database and computation layer contains also relational database 51. In this database diagnostics data, data about the shock that occurred and data obtained from data processing modules, i.e. seismic sensor data processing module 54, high-resolution global navigation satellite system data processing module (HR-GNSS) 55, daily global navigation satellite system observation processing module (GNSS) 56, satellite radar interferometry system data processing module (PSInSAR) 57, spatial-temporal ground surface displacement model development module 58, is stored.

[0036] Seismic sensor data processing module 54 processes data about the shock recorded by seismic vibration sensors and saved in file database. This module is triggered when a specified seismic vibration limit is exceeded. In an embodiment of the invention, this is an acceleration exceeding 50 mm / sec2. Processed seismic data is stored in relational database. Any updates to the module's processing status are also saved in this database.

[0037] High-resolution global navigation satellite system data processing module (HR-GNSS) 55 is responsible for processing data from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, located in the area where seismic vibration occurs, and reference receivers in order to determine the dynamic displacements of points in the area where seismic vibration occurs. Data processed by this module is saved in a file database, while statistical data from this module is saved in a relational database. Any updates to the module's processing status are also saved in this database.

[0038] Daily global navigation satellite system observation processing module 56 processes data from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, located in the area of seismic vibrations, and reference receivers. This data is processed by the module on a daily basis. Processed data is saved in a relational database. This database also records all updates on the status of processing daily data from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.

[0039] Satellite radar interferometry system data processing module (PSInSAR) 57 processes data recorded using satellite radar interferometry. This data is processed periodically. Processed data is saved in the relational database. Additionally, updates on the processing status of this module are saved in this database.

[0040] The last data processing module is the module for developing a spatial-temporal ground surface displacement model 58. This model is created based on joint compilation and processing of data from daily global navigation satellite system observation processing module (GNSS) and satellite radar interferometry system data processing module (PSInSAR). The model of spatial-temporal displacements can be generated by the module only when the system already has data processed separately by the indicated modules. The model of ground displacements generated by the model is saved in the relational database.

[0041] In an embodiment of the invention, the data processing modules take the form of containers that provide specific microservices.

[0042] The database and computation layer 2 contains application layer 59, which is responsible for preparing data from processing modules to be visualized in graphical form. The application layer contains an application for determining data about the dynamics of the shock on the ground surface; application of determining the distribution of seismic wave acceleration isolines; application for determining ground surface displacements based on PSInSAR computation results; application for determining the impact of ground surface displacements on the buildings; application for determining spatial-temporal model; application for analog seismic data processing.

[0043] The last component of the system for monitoring the impact of seismic events on the ground surface according to the invention is data presentation layer 3. It is an information portal 31 with a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents the user with data from a relational and file database in graphical form, e.g. maps, charts, tables with data processed by data processing modules. In an embodiment of the invention the information portal 31 is a web application, with access limited to authorized persons. By providing the user with data via a web application, they have access to data on any device. The information portal presents the system user with spatial-temporal, multidimensional and heterogeneous result data on the impact of seismic shocks on the ground surface in a consistent manner. Among other things, the portal presents the user with charts, diagrams and result maps of GNSS data processing in high rate and post-processing modes. In addition, it allows the presentation of a spatial- temporal displacement model on the ground surface, determined based on GNSS and PSInSAR data.

[0044] According to the invention, file database, system trigger module and information portal with graphical user interface (GUI) is supported by data server 4. On the other hand, seismic sensor data processing module, high-resolution global navigation satellite system data processing module (HR-GNSS), daily global navigation satellite system observation processing module (GNSS), satellite radar interferometry system data processing module (PSInSAR), spatial-temporal ground surface displacement model development module, relational database and application layer is supported by computing server 5.

[0045] As part of the method of monitoring the impact of seismic events on the ground surface, implemented using the described system, data from seismic vibration sensors 101 is recorded. The data is recorded continuously at a frequency of 200 Hz. Data from the accelerographs is sent to a data server and stored in a file database. The system also collects data from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) 102. This data is sent to the data server, continuously, at a frequency of 1 Hz and stored in the file database.

[0046] The system performs diagnostics of the measurement infrastructure. To do this, the diagnostic layer takes diagnostic data from the measurement infrastructure 103, processes this data and stores it in a relational database 104.

[0047] According to the invention, the system checks the continuity of measurements from seismic sensors. This continuity is checked cyclically 200, every hour. For this purpose, the diagnostic layer, at predetermined hourly cycles, retrieves information on the availability of accelerometers 201 and checks the file database for information on the continuity of recorded seismic data 202. If any gaps in the continuity of measurements 203 are detected in the database, the diagnostics layer retrieves the data stored in the seismic sensor’s memory 204 in order to check for possible seismic events in the form of shocks recorded by accelerographs during periods of interruptions in data transmission. Then data in file database is filled in, saving information about potential shocks 205, that occurred in the periods of interruptions. The next step is launching application for processing analog seismic data 206. Pre-computation layer processes analog data from accelerometers, and then saves it in file database 207. The last step of periodical check of the continuity of measurements from seismic sensors is for the diagnostics layer to create an entry in the processing queue and save it in the relational database 208.

[0048] The system periodically, once a day, processes positional data on ground surface displacements collected with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers 300. For this purpose, the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data processing module is run 301 and the processed data is written to a relational database. Similarly, the system cyclically processes radar data on ground surface displacements in the satellite radar interferometry system data processing module (PSInSAR). The data processed by the module is saved in a relational database. When a seismic event (shock) is detected by the seismic vibration sensors, the system is activated by the system trigger module. This module creates an entry in the processing queue, saved in relational database.

[0049] Analog data about the shock from the seismic vibration sensor is processed into digital data by pre-computation layer, launching application for processing analog seismic data. Data converted into digital form is saved in file database.

[0050] Information about a seismic shock, recorded by one or more seismic sensors, is made available to the system user in graphical form on the information portal. Access to processed data in information portal is restricted by user authentication.

[0051] According to the invention, after the seismic sensors have registered the shock and converted the analog data into digital data, system activates the seismic data processing module. This module processes seismic data and then stores the data in a relational database. Then, the system applications are launched, which, based on the processed seismic data, calculate the dynamics of the shock on the ground surface and the distribution of the seismic wave acceleration isolines. Based on the processed data, the impact of shock on the buildings is determined. This data is stored in the relational database, and then shared with logged-in users in the information portal in graphical form e.g. maps of the selected area with marked isolines and offsets.

[0052] High resolution data from global navigation satellite system is processed in high-resolution global navigation satellite system data processing module (HR-GNSS) and saved to file database. By high resolution data that collected with 20 Hz frequency rate is meant. The system's application is then launched, which, based on the processed data, determines the displacement of the ground surface during a seismic shock. This data is stored in relational database and shared with users in information portal.

[0053] Cyclic daily GNSS observations are processed in daily global navigation satellite system observation processing module (GNSS). As a result of processing this data, the displacements of GNSS receivers located on the ground surface are determined. Processed data is stored in relational database and then shared with authorized users in information portal.

[0054] Data from satellite radar interferometry system (PSInSAR) in the form of a set of interferograms are processed by the satellite radar interferometry system data processing module, and the data is then stored in a relational database. This data is then made available to the user in graphical form on the information portal.

[0055] Data from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and satellite radar interferometry system (PSInSAR) processed by appropriate modules is then processed by spatial-temporal ground surface displacement model development module. Based on the processed data, the appropriate system applications determine the spatial-temporal model of the ground surface displacements and the distribution of isolines. Developed model is saved in relational database and shared in graphical form with authorized users in information portal. The displacement model developed by the system can be presented to the user in various graphical forms, for example in the form of a map with displacement isolines, graphs, tables or text reports.

[0056] In accordance with the invention, data about the seismic event and its impact on the ground surface from seismic sensors, the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and the satellite radar interferometry system (PSInSAR) is presented to the user in a graphical form, understandable without having specialist knowledge on how to interpret the recorded data.

[0057] For this purpose, the system applications prepare data processed by defined modules for its graphical representation on a computing device via a web application.
