Monitoring tailings, slopes and water-related conditions

Mining and tailings environments can involve changes in pore-water pressure, seepage, ground movement, vibration and water flow. Monitoring these parameters can provide additional visibility into changing site conditions and support engineering review.

• Tailings and embankments: pore-water pressure, seepage, displacement and ground movement.
• Mining areas and slopes: ground movement, vibration and position changes using relevant geotechnical and positioning instrumentation.
• Water and slurry systems: flow measurements where monitoring is required.

Monitoring data can be reviewed through configurable QA workflows, visualization and threshold-based notifications, helping teams identify changes that may require further investigation.

• Piezometers: pore-water pressure within embankments and their foundations.
• Inclinometers: subsurface movement and deformation of the foundation and surrounding ground.
• Extensometers: changes in distance or deformation within the foundation and surrounding ground.
• GNSS sensors: position changes, for tracking larger-scale movement across the site.
• Seismic sensors: ground movement and vibration around mining operations.
• Flow meters: flow in slurry pipelines and water systems, where monitoring is required.
