Sintela’s Technical Presentation on DAS for Seismic Monitoring

At the IMS Symposium Seminar 2026, Jon from Sintela will present on the application of DAS for seismic monitoring. Since Sintela is a specialist in Distributed Acoustic Sensing, it will provide insights into how the technology is used to enhance the detection and analysis of seismic activity, including rockburst events in mining environments. Through this presentation, learners will gain an overview of the way DAS improves seismic event detection, enhances subsurface monitoring, and supports safer mining operations. Moreover, the session will also focus on integrating continuous sensing data into existing monitoring workflows to support more accurate and timely decision-making.

Key Insights from the Presentation

• Through the presentation, learners will also get to know how DAS is being applied within modern seismic monitoring frameworks. A practical overview will be provided of the capture, processing, and interpretation of fibre optic sensing data in mining environments.
• Another important area of discussion will be how DAS systems generate continuous data along the entire length of the fibre optic cable, offering a more detailed representation of ground movement across the monitored area.
• Furthermore, Sintela will explain how to integrate DAS outputs into existing monitoring workflows. This section includes how raw sensing signals are converted into usable information to support seismic interpretation and operational monitoring.

Attendees at the IMS Symposium Seminar are welcome to connect with our Sintela team to discuss DAS and its role in seismic monitoring. For meeting requests and technical enquiries, you can contact us at info@sintela.com.

The company is looking forward to contributing to the global conversation on improving safety and understanding in underground mining operations.
