The Arctic region is facing an unprecedented crisis as temperatures soar nearly four times higher than in the rest of the world1. This warming trend has caused the operating window of ice and winter roads to shrink, leaving remote northern communities and industries with limited access to transport essential goods and resources during the winter months. A recent study found that a further rise ...
Permafrost is a critical component of the Earth’s cryosphere and plays a crucial role in regulating the planet’s climate. However, permafrost is vulnerable to changes in temperature, and as global temperatures rise, it is thawing at an alarming rate. This thawing process can lead to a cascade of environmental, ecological, and infrastructure impacts1. Permafrost temperature monitoring ...
When it comes to protecting your digital temperature cables, beadedstream places great emphasis on the use of conduit. ...
What is artificial ground freezing? Artificial ground freezing is an engineering technique that is commonly used for groundwater control and/or excavation support for shafts and tunneling projects, and mine sites1. It involves drilling closely-spaced pipes into the ground and then running coolants, such as chilled brine between -25 °C and -35 °C, through them to extract heat from the ...
Acid mine drainage (AMD), also known as acid rock drainage (ARD), is a significant environmental concern arising from the exposure of sulfide minerals in mining waste to air and water. This chemical reaction, driven by the oxidation of sulfides, leads to the generation of highly acidic waters and the release of toxic heavy metals, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and water quality. AMD’s ...
CNFAIC recognized a need in their instrumentation network to monitor temperature and snow depths along Tincan Ridge as they were seeing high instances of avalanches in this popular backcountry area. The installed beadedstream solution provided them with real-time data of these parameters throughout the snow season, allowing for forecasters to better predict avalanche conditions and issue warnings ...
Monitoring the performance of thermosyphons installed under the new terminal and services building at Iqaluit Airport was critical to understanding the temperature of the permafrost under the buildings. Thaw of this permafrost can lead to differential settlement of infrastructure, causing costly damage to critical infrastructure. beadedstream supplied digital ...
Since there was limited room at site, ground freezing was selected to provide the shoring, instead of a diaphragm wall. Ground temperature monitoring was a critical component, to allow for modeling of the freeze bulbs and to verify when it was safe to begin excavation of the shaft. beadedstream Digital Temperature Cables allowed ...
A thermistor, coined from “thermal” and “resistor”, is a sensor that changes resistance based upon temperature. It is used to measure temperatures within a specified range by using calibration tables to convert from resistance to temperature. Thermistor strings are cables with integrated thermistors, ...
“Because temperature changes can be indicative of other processes occurring within the ground, these sensors [temperature cables and thermistors] can provide useful data to engineers when site conditions start to ...
beadedstream provided Buoy Loggers and Digital Temperature Cables to monitor lake ice. Transmission of the data through satellite modems allows stakeholders to quickly and easily access data from the cloudstream web ...
The design of a subgrade wash pit at a grind and inject facility required thermal modelling and specific design considerations to protect against permafrost thaw due to 50°F (10°C) fluid to be offloaded in the pit during operation. Temperature monitoring was included in the design to confirm the effectiveness of the insulation layers and thermosyphons in the foundation and to allow for ...
SSR Mining needed to monitor the temperature profile along their French Drain system each winter. Freeze of the drain could result in seepage from the tailings pond into the adjacent lake. beadedstream’s solution allowed them to collect high quality data to monitor the performance of the drain and to mitigate any freezing that ...
beadedstream inc is an Alaska-based designer and manufacturer of customizable temperature monitoring systems that integrate with foundations built on permafrost soils. beadedstream’s digital, multi-point Temperature Acquisition Cables (TACs) can operate independently or connect with building automation systems. ...
