What is mXrap?

mXrap is a software platform that provides geotechnical engineers with many data analysis, monitoring and investigation tools. mXrap users can also develop their own apps using the in-built tools. The ACG's mXrap team has developed a number of apps, which focus on allowing users to make high-quality geotechnical decisions as quickly and easily as possible. These apps cover:

Mining Induced Seismicity

Tools for analysing and interpreting mining-induced seismicity, as well as managing seismic hazards.

Stope Reconciliation and Prediction

For quick and easy reconciliation of mined surveys and design shapes. Uses machine learning to predict stope geometry and performance.

Rock Mass Data Analyser

Allows users to input and analyse various geotechnical data, which aids in building a detailed database that includes borehole, mapping, stress measurement and rock testing data.

Inspections and Data Entry

A data entry application designed for offline use on tablet devices, customisable to meet the specific needs of each site.

Instrumentation

Tools for importing and evaluating various formats of extensometer and in situ stress data.

Caving

Integrates various cave monitoring methods to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the activities within their cave mine.

Numerical Modelling Integration

Facilitates the creation of clean models for input into numerical modelling packages along with visualisation of the results of numerical models along with other monitoring data.

Damage Mapping

Enables users to damage map their underground excavations using a tablet device while offline.

Surface Monitoring

Tools for importing and evaluating prism data, commonly utilised for tracking ground movements.

Paste Backfill

Designed to assist engineers in calculating paste fill volumes and bund capacities, fill strength requirements and reticulation paths along with hosting a strength testing database with calculated curing models.

Utilities

A collection of tools designed to convert between formats and generally make tasks easier.

History

mXrap (and its predecessor, MSRAP) were developed under the ACG's Mine Seismicity and Rockburst Risk Management project. As part of this project, the software served the purpose of a technology transfer tool to bring the project outcomes to the sponsor sites. The software design and capabilities, however, created the opportunity to extend its use outside the field of mining induced seismicity from which it originated. Since 2015, the development of mXrap was separated from the ACG's research project and further development is sponsored by the mXrap consortium https://mxrap.com/consortium/.

mXrap is deployed at over 70 mine sites worldwide, as well as being used a valuable tool for consulting and academic research. Meet the consortium https://mxrap.com/consortium/

Support

One-to-one support is included with your licence, over email, phone, or remote screen sharing. We have geotechnical and software engineering team members based in both Australia and Canada. Meet the team https://mxrap.com/mxrap-team/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/mxrap

Build your own custom apps

Develop custom apps and extensions tailored for your site's specific needs using mXrap's powerful built-in app editor. Code your own functions using JavaScript or get in touch with us for bespoke app development. The Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG) is a not-for-profit mining research centre based at The University of Western Australia, Perth. The ACG undertakes research, education and training activities in the geomechanics disciplines to provide industry with the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure that safety is not simply a top priority on par with productivity, but rather an ethic that guides everything.

Research projects

The ACG continues to effectively respond to industry's needs by initiating innovative research that provides ongoing benefits and viabilities instead of “quick-fix” solutions. Ground Support Systems Optimisation https://gsso.com.au/ Seismic Risk Management Process https://acg.uwa.edu.au/srmp/Home
