MINE SITE PED AND TRACKER INVESTIGATION (by MSHA) • Investigate PED installations at: – Peabody Air Quality and Twentymile Mines – Consol Blacksville and Robinson Run Mines – BHP San Juan Mine (only surface-installed antenna in the US) • Traveled to Australia to investigate TRACKER installation Pittsburgh Research Laboratory
• Pros: PROS AND CONS OF PED – Can send evacuation instructions to miners in early stages of fire – Can be retrofit for Koehler, NLT and MSA cap lamps – System can be deployed in emergency by arranging surface loop antenna • Cons: – Underground antenna could be compromised in fire or explosion – Reports of some areas where signals can’t be received (shadow zones) – Can interfere with existing mine systems – <strong>Communication</strong>s limited to one-way – No confirmation that message has been received Pittsburgh Research Laboratory
