The National Mine Rescue Team Tongchuan has integrated our SL-TPGR advanced collapse detection radar, leveraging technology to enhance mine rescue operations.

To enhance the precision and efficiency of rescue operations in mine collapse accidents and strengthen safety production safeguards, the National Mine Rescue Team Tongchuan has officially introduced the SL-TPGR advanced collapse body detection radar, independently developed by Wuhan Shilong Technology Co., Ltd. By leveraging cutting-edge geophysical exploration technology, this deployment injects technological momentum into mine emergency response, marking a critical step toward upgrading the team's rescue equipment with intelligence and precision.

The Tongchuan National Mine Rescue Team, based in Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province and supported by Shaanxi Coal & Chemical Industry Group, is responsible for major rescue operations involving coal and non-coal mines across eastern Shaanxi and Gansu. The team also responds to ground fires, gas leaks, and other community emergencies. This professional unit of 164 members has played a key role in numerous critical incidents, including the catastrophic methane explosion at Chenjiashan Mine on "11.28", the severe flooding disaster in Henan on "7.20", and others. To date, the team has rescued over 1800 individuals trapped or injured. Recognized for its exceptional discipline and expertise, it serves as a cornerstone of regional emergency response. The introduction of new equipment aims to address the industry-wide challenge of locating and assessing victims in mine collapse scenarios—where visibility and precision are often severely limited.

High-performance detection equipment that solves rescue challenges

The SL-TPGR collapse body advanced detection radar, developed by Wuhan Shilong Technology for complex mining environments, is a high-performance device integrating full digital design and intelligent data analysis. It offers precise detection, strong adaptability, and ease of operation. Featuring an integrated host and antenna design, it can be wirelessly controlled via laptops or tablets. It achieves a detection range of over 5 meters for collapse bodies and over 30 meters for coal-rock layers, quickly mapping the spatial location, scale, morphology, and internal structure of collapses. It accurately identifies mixed objects and obstacles with centimeter-level positioning accuracy. With superior anti-interference capabilities and IP-rated resistance to moisture, dust, and vibration, it operates reliably in harsh underground conditions—such as high humidity and electromagnetic interference—providing critical data support for rescue operations.

Visual detection to improve rescue efficiency and safety

Traditional mine collapse rescue operations often rely on experience and basic detection equipment, leading to inaccurate path planning due to complex geological conditions. This delays critical response times and exposes rescuers to secondary collapse risks. The SL-TPGR Advance Detection Radar for collapsed structures enables "visualized" exploration of the disaster zone. Rescuers can now assess core damage without entering hazardous areas, rapidly locate trapped individuals, optimize rescue strategies, and effectively mitigate unknown risks—significantly improving both efficiency and safety. Validated in real-world operations by national mine rescue teams such as Fenxi and Yanbian, this equipment boosts rescue efficiency by over 30%.

End-to-end training to rapidly equip operational readiness

As a leading domestic company in the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) sector, Wuhan Shilong Technology is a dual-use national high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, and services. Leveraging expert teams from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China University of Geosciences, and other top institutions, Shilong has built a comprehensive GPR product portfolio, with its technical capabilities and market share ranking among the industry leaders. In this collaboration, Shilong not only provided equipment support but also delivered end-to-end technical training and ongoing maintenance services to the Tongchuan Team. This ensures rescue personnel are fully proficient in equipment operation, data interpretation, and troubleshooting—enabling rapid deployment of operational readiness.

Technology-Driven Rescue, Safeguarding Mine Safety

This equipment upgrade is a key initiative for the Tongchuan Team in advancing its "Technology-Driven Rescue" strategy. Moving forward, the team will continue to deepen the integration of cutting-edge technologies with emergency rescue operations, continuously refine its equipment systems, and enhance professional capabilities. By delivering more precise, efficient, and safe rescue services, it will safeguard industrial safety in regional mines and protect the lives and property of the public, contributing to the development of a modernized mine emergency rescue system.
