Seismic Risk Management in underground hard rock mines is a very important and complex task.  With the support of [http://www.newcrest.com.au Newcrest Mining Limited] (Newcrest), the [http://www.acg.uwa.edu.au Australian Centre for Geomechanics] (ACG) undertook a survey to obtain a cross-section of the seismic risk management practices used in underground hard rock mines around the world.  The survey included contributions from 16 mine sites around the world ([Participants]). The results of this survey were compiled and are made available through this website.

This website provides an overview of what ''is being'' done - it is by no means an indication of what ''should'' be done.

As our methods and our understanding of mining-induced seismicity improve, so also will our risk management practices. The content of this website will be updated in future. This is just the start!

[Page: Practice Levels -->
 
Keeping in mind that the goal of the project was to define “best practices” in managing seismic hazard, it is also important to realise that best practice at a mine site is necessarily a function of the intensity of the seismic problem at that site. As such, it is not always necessary nor “best practice” for mines experiencing low seismic hazard to implement extensive and advanced seismological analyses. Hence low, medium and severe seismic hazard will call for different “best practices”.
 
To circumvent this issue, in this benchmarking report, we will refer to basic and advanced practices. Basic practices indicate approaches commonly used at most mine sites. Advanced practices involve techniques that are uncommon due to:
<ul>
<li>requiring personnel with a high skill base; and</li>
<li>being labour/computing/time intensive.</li>
</ul>
 
<-- Practice Levels]
 
A seismic risk management process flowchart (Figure 1) has been developed and verified during the benchmarking exercise. The process has four major activities, each represented by a coloured area in the flowchart:
<ul>
<li>Data collection (purple)</li>
<li>Seismic response to mining (green)</li>
<li>Control measures (blue)</li>
<li>Seismic risk assessment (orange)</li>
</ul>
 
Within each activity, there are a number of components, represented by boxes in the flowchart. Within each box, a number of practices have been benchmarked and will be discussed in terms of being a “basic” or an “advanced” practice.

The Seismic Risk Management Plan

Welcome to the Seismic Risk Management Process Website. This website provides a summary of Seismic Risk Management Practices in hard rock mines and was developed by the Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG) with the financial support of Newcrest Mining Limited (Newcrest).

The Seismic Risk Management Process enables users to assess their own practices written in their Seismic Risk Management Plan against standard and advanced practices that can be applied for the management of seismic risks. It is also a valuable framework for the development and evaluation of a site-specific Seismic Risk Management Plan. Some mine sites are now using the process presented here as a generic framework and guideline for structuring and developing their site-specific Seismic Risk Management Plans.
