Instabilities in mine slopes can develop and change over time, presenting risks to people, equipment and production. Slope stability monitoring provides geotechnical teams with deformation data to identify and track developing slope movement and support informed operational decisions.
No two operations have exactly the same monitoring requirements. Mine geometry, monitoring range, areas of concern, temporal resolution, spatial detail and environmental conditions can all influence the radar monitoring capability required. Different areas within the same operation may also require different strategic or tactical monitoring approaches.
Reutech Mining provides slope stability radar monitoring through MSR Modular, MSR Esprit 2 and MSR Haloâ„¢, with different radar architectures suited to different monitoring requirements. The appropriate capability can be configured around the operation, from a single radar to multiple units or different radar technologies, supported where required by software, visual monitoring, 24/7 geotechnical monitoring and technical support.
The appropriate slope stability monitoring capability depends on what needs to be monitored, where it needs to be monitored and the operational requirements of the mine.
