ABSTRACT: The interpretation of field instrumentation can be challenging, however, a great deal of information and valuable insight into rock mass behaviour can be gained. This paper summarizes an instrumentation program from a New Brunswick underground mine conducted 3 decades ago. The instrumentation installed included microseismic strain and deformation monitoring, as well as visual inspections. A major benefit of an instrumentation program, and its’ interpretation, is the opportunity it provides to geotechnical and rock mechanics engineers to better understand the complex response of rock masses to engineering structures. None of the insights highlighted in this paper relied upon computer modelling, but instead were based on the application of relatively basic rock mechanics principals, field observations and discussions with colleagues. Field programs such as these are key to advancing rock mechanics for individuals and for the profession.
