Tailings Dams – Managing Risk and Ensuring Safety for the Future

Tailings dams are an essential part of mining operations, and their ongoing management is a key driver for mine productivity and continuity of operations. These dams store the byproducts of mining, like slurry, fine waste, and water. Unlike traditional water dams, tailings dams grow and change throughout the life of a mine, making them more …

Factors That Influence Slope Stability

The stability of slopes is impacted by multiple factors, the type of materials in (and under) the slope, environmental factors local to the slope, and of course gravity. This blog takes a brief slide down the factors affecting slope stability – let’s go!   Slope stability is ultimately determined by factors such as the angle of the slope and …

Geospatial Monitoring Harnessing the Power of GNSS

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) encompass various satellite constellations in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Each satellite in these constellations transmits positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers on Earth. By utilising multiple constellations, GNSS-enabled devices can enhance accuracy through time synchronisation and the geometric principle of triangulation.  Selecting the Right Technology is Crucial In the …
