Case Study
Extreme Cold Temperature Success
EXTREME WEATHER SUCCESS - DEPLOYMENT IN RUSSIA’S EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES Two sites in South Western Siberia - Chernigovets Coal Mine and Zarechnaya Coal Mine - trialled our SSR-XT radar system throughout an extremely harsh winter, which saw the system functioning at -40°C temperatures autonomously without a shelter. Siberia’s climate and weather is very extreme. The summers are short, whilst the winters are long, harsh and have an annual average temperature of 0.5°C with thick layers of snow remaining on the ground for at least six months of the year. Utilising over 12 years of experience of operating our radars in arctic conditions in Northern Canada, GroundProbe was able to engineer our radar systems to overcome Siberia’s extreme climate, and function at -40°C without a
