You might also be interested in additional services: Our geoscientists help you to explore your asset, whilst our process engineers will advise you on how to sustainably extract additional value from the vast amounts of rock processing residues.

Seismic Monitoring

We plan, manufacture, install, operate and maintain seismic monitoring systems in underground mines worldwide. We work with local geotechnical partner companies who provide customer support and maintenance in any country and in any language. Benefit from our 24/7 alerting service and keep your mine safe.

Mine Backfilling

We are experts in safely re-filling and stabilizing underground voids. K-UTEC operates a specialized backfill laboratory in which we test and certify residues from mining- and non-mining activities for suitability. We develop backfill recipes and innovative backfill concepts. Talk to us to learn how you can improve the economics of your mine by safely storing industrial and mining waste. We also advise on secondary ore recovery through backfilling pillars.

Potash Mining

We have 70 years of experience in potash mining, covering all aspects. K-UTEC supports your project throughout the entire life cycle, from exploration through process design to mine abandonment. We help you to boost recovery, minimize waste, increase profitability, and avoid pitfalls.

KU-3D/1D Velocity Proportional Seismometer

Our flagship seismometers are KU-3D and KU-1D which measure in 3D and 1D, respectively. The KU-3D and KU-1D both fulfill DIN 45669-1 requirements. Their high sensitivity allows applications in mining, geothermal plants, salt caverns, oil & gas, deep thermal energy storage, CCS, as well as construction according to DIN 4150. These seismometers contain SM-6 coils which are used in well-established seismic sensors all over the world.

KU-BRL Velocity Proportional Borehole-Seismometer

K-UTEC’s three-component borehole-seismometer fills the gap in your seismic monitoring network, when conventional seismometers can’t be used due to high noise-levels. Its robust casing and small diameter enable usage in nearly every borehole.
