Abstract: A system for automated dynamic compaction includes a compaction crane having a boom and compaction weight, at least one positional sensor, at least one boom deflection sensor, a rotational encoder, and a compaction control system. The compaction control system may be programmed to identify a first drop location having a first target parameter, determine whether the compaction crane is positioned over the first drop location, determine an initial elevation of the compaction weight, lift the compaction weight to a drop height, detect that the compaction weight has been released, re-hoist the compaction weight to the drop height, measure the payout length of a winch cable after each drop, determine a current elevation of the compaction weight after each drop, and determine whether the first target parameter has been satisfied.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to automated dynamic compaction systems. A system for dynamic compaction includes a compaction crane having a boom and compaction weight, at least one positional sensor, at least one boom deflection sensor, a rotational encoder, and a compaction control system. The compaction control system may be programmed to identify a first drop location having a first target parameter, determine whether the compaction crane is positioned over the first drop location, determine an initial elevation of the compaction weight, lift the compaction weight to a drop height, detect that the compaction weight has been released, re-hoist the compaction weight to the drop height, measure the payout length of a winch cable after each drop, determine a current elevation of the compaction weight after each drop, and determine whether the first target parameter has been satisfied.

Abstract: A drilling system has one or more drilling machines at a drilling site, in communication with a drill planning computer. The drill planning computer includes one or more processors, and a non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with the one or more processors having encoded thereon a set of instructions executable by the one or more processors to receive drill plan parameters, generate a drill plan based on the drill plan parameters, communicate the drill plan to one or more drilling machines, execute the drill plan with the one or more drilling machines, update at least one of the drill plan parameters based on an identified change in drilling conditions, update the drill plan in real-time based on an updated drill plan parameter, and adjust operation of the one or more drilling machines to reflect the changes in the updated drill plan.
