Introducing Megamec

 

A revolutionary upgrade to the MECCA downhole instrument

CMS Asia Pacific has launched MEGAMEC™ technology, proven to deliver data between the uphole instrument and downhole measurement probe faster than any other solution.

Faster data transfer will allow quicker and more accurate coal seam surveying, allowing operators to work more efficiently and productively.

The product also removes the risk of incorrect installation, reducing the costs associated with downtime for parts repair and installation. 

CMS Asia Pacific founder and chief executive Steve Brownell said his team had worked extensively in the underground environment and in the product engineering space over decades which led to the development of a product that would deliver vast improvements for mining companies and their operators.

“We had witnessed machines breaking down, slow data delivery to operators, as well as difficulty repairing and installing parts,” he said.

“We knew we had a solution for all of the pain points, so we developed MEGAMEC.

“Our engineer Mark MacCabe was involved in developing the modular electrical connection devices currently in operation, his intricate knowledge of the systems has enabled him to improve on the design that was developed decades ago.” 

Mr Brownell said the MEGAMEC would deliver a range of improvements including:

  • High speed data capability?
  • Improved data reliability, connectivity and signal strength
  • Improved ease of assembly into the drill rod?
  • Enhanced longevity of equipment
  • Improved tolerance for significant operational vibration
  • Improved tolerability to temperature variations

Mr Brownell said his team had also worked hard with partners to manufacture parts of the device using recycled materials.

“At CMS Asia Pacific we are committed to innovation and sustainability, and this product is a demonstration of both,” he said.

CMS is a proudly Australian-owned company that for 30 years has been supporting the world’s major construction and mining companies to build the infrastructure of the future.

MEGAMEC™ is available to order now.
