The importance of the use of a Borehole Camera is to ensure the condition of the rock is as expected. Without the use of the StrataCam II™ Borehole Camera, the unknown conditions can have great consequences. Problems can develop if the explosives are loaded into boreholes in the area of large cracks or cavities, soft seams of material or loaded into the coal. This camera will allow the user to visually find areas of concern and will allow the proper actions to resolve the problem.
