Quarry Prevents Downtime Due to Storms with 24/7 Web-Monitoring Tool
- April 2020 | Vol. 4
On cold rainy nights, most of us are on the couch with popcorn and a good movie. But for many quarry operators, the uncertainty of whether or not the dewatering pump systems are working correctly can fuel anxiety. To mitigate the risks of equipment failure and costly downtime, it’s necessary to perform manual inspections of dewatering basins in the rain at all hours, leading to sleepless nights. The risk mitigation planning team at IMI Aggregates, a division of Irving Materials, found a better way to oversee and prevent potential issues from happening to their operations using a Regal PTS Perceptiv Technologies™ 24/7 monitoring solution. See how remote monitoring brings peace of mind!
