Understanding China’s Mine Safety Standard AQ/T 2063-2018

1. What Does Mine Safety Include?

Mine safety is a comprehensive system covering critical areas:

  1. Slope Stability Monitoring

    • Key risks: Displacement, deformation, and landslides in high/steep slopes (common in open-pit mines).

  2. Equipment Safety & Maintenance

    • Regular checks for blasting equipment, transport machinery, and electrical systems. Example: DTH drills without dust collectors violate regulations.

  3. Hydrology & Weather Monitoring

    • Blocked drainage channels or heavy rain may trigger dam failures or landslides.

  4. Tailings Pond Management

    • Core indicators: Seepage line monitoring, dry beach length control, and dam displacement.

  5. Worker Safety & Training

    • Use VR simulations and smart training systems to improve emergency response skills.


2. Common Disasters in Mine Tailings Ponds

  1. Dam Collapse

    • Caused by structural instability or heavy rain, leading to casualties and environmental damage.

  2. Seepage & Piping

    • Abnormal seepage line levels may cause internal erosion.

  3. Landslides & Subsidence

    • Over-stacked tailings or unstable geology increase local landslide risks.

  4. Environmental Pollution

    • Leakage can contaminate soil and water with heavy metals.


3. Key Points of AQ/T 2063-2018

This standard focuses on safety monitoring for high/steep slopes in non-coal open-pit mines:

  1. Scope

    • Applies to non-coal mines; natural slopes may follow guidelines.

  2. Monitoring Levels

    • Four risk levels (I to IV) based on slope height, angle, geology, and landslide risks. Reassess every 3 years.

  3. Monitoring Requirements

    • Deformation (displacement, cracks), stress (blasting vibrations), and hydrometeorology (rainfall, groundwater).

  4. Warning System

    • Three-tier alerts (e.g., yellow/orange/red) with predefined thresholds.

  5. System Compliance

    • Monitoring systems must run error-free for 3 months before approval. Supports manual data entry and alerts.


4. Mine Safety Monitoring Solutions

  1. Design Principles

    • Temporary monitoring during early phases; permanent systems for final slopes.

  2. Technologies

    • BeiDou Satellite Monitoring: 24/7 mm-level displacement tracking.

    • AI Video Analytics: Detects fires, missing helmets, or equipment leaks.

    • Drone Inspections: Reaches inaccessible areas.

  3. Data Management

    • Auto-generates reports, multi-device access, and links to emergency platforms.


5. Key Monitoring Equipment

EquipmentFunction
GNSS Monitoring StationTracks horizontal/vertical displacement (mm-level).
Stress SensorsDetects rock stress changes for landslide alerts.
AI Video SystemsIdentifies hazards (e.g., safety violations).
Hydrometeorological StationsMonitors rainfall, groundwater, wind speed.
Inspection RobotsReplaces manual checks in hazardous zones.

6. How to Choose Monitoring Equipment?

  1. Precision & Reliability

    • GNSS stations: ≤6mm horizontal / ≤3mm vertical accuracy.

  2. Environmental Adaptability

    • IP67-rated, withstand -20°C to 60°C. Solar-powered for remote areas.

  3. Data Integration

    • Unified platforms for sensor data, drones, and manual logs. AI reduces false alarms.

  4. Low Maintenance

    • Mobile GNSS stations for dynamic mining sites; remote troubleshooting.

  5. Regulatory Compliance

    • Meets AQ/T 2063-2018 and GB 16423 standards. Requires 3-month error-free testing.


7. Benefits of Safety Monitoring Systems

  1. Reduced Accidents

    • Shanxi Coking Coal cut costs by ¥326/ton (2024) with zero landslides.

  2. Efficiency Gains

    • Drones inspect remote zones 10x faster than humans.

  3. Cost Savings

    • AI slashed false alarms from 3,035 to 261/day, cutting labor costs by 90%.

  4. Compliance & Sustainability

    • Real-time tailings data prevents pollution; auto-reports to regulators.


8. Success Stories

  1. Gansu Open-Pit Mine

    • Deployed 73 GNSS stations for 150m slopes. Achieved 100% online rate and national data sharing.

  2. Shanxi Coking Coal

    • AI robots and "one-click control" reduced underground staff by 30%.

  3. Guizhou Drone Patrols

    • Drones reach accident sites in 5 minutes, boosting emergency response by 80%.


9. AQ/T 2063-2018: Core Requirements

  1. Scope

    • Non-coal mines only; natural slopes as reference.

  2. Risk Levels

    • Four tiers based on height (<100m = low; ≥200m = high) and safety factors (F<1.05 = high risk).

  3. Technical Standards

    • Deformation (mm precision), stress, and hydrometeorology (per SL 21/SL 183).

  4. Alerts & Compliance

    • Three-tier warnings with automatic alarms. Systems must pass 3-month trials.

    • Data stored for 10+ years.
