Depth Adjustment

The acQuire Depth Adjustment Tool (DAT) will synchronize depth adjustments across all desired logged intervals at once. That is, when you have finished your lithological depth adjustments for a hole you have also finished your depth adjustments for all other required intervals in that hole (that may include coal quality samples, composite samples, geotechnical and gas samples, core run intervals etc). This provides a huge time & cost saving to the logging/project geologist as they only have to make one depth adjustment pass over the hole, instead of many independent depth adjustment passes.

A complete manual correction of one hole may take two to three times as long as a correction done using acQuire’s DAT.

With the installation of this technology comes a great opportunity to train all users in a standard method of depth adjustment, company wide. This ensures the depth adjustment process is done accurately and reduces the likely hood for future re-adjustment. This will also facilitate the peer review process by the senior geological staff in their capacity as owners and mentors of the process.

If original depths are required for any reason (e.g. in order to undo and redo an inappropriate adjustment) they can be retrieved at any time through a "revert" within the DAT. This is an efficiency/data QAQC benefit which demonstrates that DAT is functional in a real-world environment.

Whether the idealised location within your data collection workflow is in the field or the corporate office – the Depth Adjustment Tool can be deployed to suit. If circumstances change on a site, such that data collection workflows are impacted (simplified or expanded), the acQuire Depth Adjustment Tool can be reconfigured accordingly.

With the Depth Adjustment Tool the turnaround time – from collected to corrected – can also be reduced; meaning data is more readily available for modelling/mine planning.

Key features:

• Considers ‘soft zones’ such as core loss and voids
• Samples/Rock Mass units can be included/excluded from the depth adjustment process
• Original interval thicknesses can be preserved
• Percentage change of original thickness indicated.
• Takes into account continuation intervals
