Work experience on automation of processing of survey measurements of backfill of mines of Uralkali PJSC

During the last years of development of Verkhnekamsk potassium salt field (VKPSF) activities that aimed to prevent harmful impact of underground mines on earth's surface and industrial, civil and natural objects located on it and water breakthrough into mines became relevant. One of the main methods to control these phenomena is to backfill empty space with solid wastes of potassium ore processing. Growing volume of backfill works leads to an increase in survey service of mining enterprises, which does instrumental control over fulfillment of design parameters of backfilling mines. In this regard, there are questions raised on automation of processing of results of instrumental measurements of backfill volumes and compiling graphic and text reporting documentation. In order to solve this problem the authors of the article developed a software module that allows to solve in automated mode most of the tasks that are faced by staff of survey departments of VKPSF mines who monitor compliance with design parameters of volume of backfilling operations. The article provides information on functional possibilities and technical architecture of a software module. Examples of interface solutions and information on volumes of reporting documents being created are given. A developed software module is integrated into created mining and geological information system of Uralkali PJSC. A system is created with direct participation of the authors and provides 21 automated workplaces for various mining specialists (miners, geologists, mine surveyors, geophysicists, geomechanics, environmentalists etc.) starting from the primary link in mines and ending with the management of Uralkali PJSC
