Course description
This course addresses the challenges of deploying and maintaining fiber optic networks in harsh mine environments in order to improve employee safety, provide reliable communications, improve and measure process efficiency, and provide continuous monitoring and analysis of the hazardous environments. This course is tailored to the unique environment and applications of underground, open pit, and strip mines, and will provide the knowledge and skill sets required for those designing, installing, and maintaining fiber optic communication systems in harsh mine environments. Course lectures must be taken on line.
Upon successful completion of the required on-line lectures and exams, the student will then attend the TR-MIN Hands-on training sessions scheduled. The hands-on training session is required to complete the Fiber Optics for Mining Certification.
