📢 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 📢 Hello, LinkedIn community! 🌟 Today, I'm kicking off a series dedicated to exploring various facets of mining safety and geotechnical engineering. Our first topic is Slope Stability in Open Cast Mines. Slope stability is crucial in open cast mining to prevent landslides and ensure the safety of miners and equipment. Proper slope design, regular monitoring, and implementing corrective measures are essential to maintain stability and prevent accidents. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the causes of slope failures, monitoring techniques, and much more in the coming weeks! #MiningSafety #SlopeStability #OpenCastMining #GeotechnicalEngineering #Mining #SafetyFirst

Mining Safety: A Team Effort! ⛏️ In this video, we observe a clear example of how Geotechnical Engineering plays a crucial role in slope stability in deep mining. ⛰️ However, this is not an isolated task. Mine planning, execution of drilling and blasting techniques, proper mining procedures, and compliance with plans are fundamental pieces that, together with geotechnics, guarantee the safety of workings and work environments. What do you think about the importance of collaboration between different areas in the mining industry?

FIELD WORK | A day in the life of a Geotechnical Engineer. SCT Engineers Gaetano Venticinque and Michael Holland are currently on site conducting a hydrogeological investigation as part of a wider geotechnical characterisation and monitoring program. Using the STX60 packer system, they're able to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the strata at various depths. #engineerslife #geotechnicalengineering #charactersation #investigation #exploration #packertesting #hydrogeolocial #mining

Following are our offerings for mining customers: High-resolution satellite imagery for planning and monitoring of mining sites High-resolution and multi-band orthorectified imagery for the clear texture of soil and vegetation. Precise and accurate DTM for topographical information and volume calculations. Cut-fill analysis based on most accurate terrain models (DTM). Environmental impact assessment based on various indices derived from EO data. Change and encroachment detection with temporal data. LULC maps and hydrology study inside and near the mining site.  

Civil and mining engineers have always relied on innovative geotechnical solutions for their complex analyses.

🛠️⛏️ Geotechnical Engineering: Mining and Construction After graduation the first time i came across geotechnical engineering was In the dynamic world of mining. Geotechnical engineering: the backbone of stability. 🏗️ In construction, it's all about firm foundations; in mining, it's navigating underground complexities. Same principles, different terrain. 💡 here its a general introduction to geotechnical engineering. by me #Construction 🌍💪 #GeotechnicalEngineering #Mining #Sustainability #SafetyFirst 🚀🌱

Blink and you'll miss it For this year's slope stability monitoring and management article, we look at some highlights from the Slope Stability 2024 conference in #Brazil plus as usual review some new approaches and techniques. Two of the stand-out presentations from the symposium, held 14-19 April in #MinasGerais, looked at new approaches to slope stability monitoring – firstly a paper titled “Developing a ‘Mapping-Monitoring-Modeling' #DigitalTwin for #slopestability hazard response optimisation” from IDS GeoRadar, its parent company Hexagon Mining, customer Barrick Pueblo Viejo and specialist geotechnical engineering company Gecko Geotechnics. Another presentation from the event was also led by IDS GeoRadar and Hexagon Mining, this time with iron ore mining customer Vale, and was titled “Long term deformation analysis of vegetated slopes with #GBSAR.” Instead of hard rock open pit mining it focuses on #tailingsdam monitoring, a critical activity that is becoming more and more important. Orica-owned GroundProbe’s Geotechnical Support Services (GSS) unit is a world-class global support network that assists mining customers with effective slope stability and underground #riskmanagement through comprehensive technical support. We caught up with Ben Moke, Chief Commercial Officer and VP Americas including on its recently expanded remote monitoring centre in #BeloHorizonte. One critical area of concern is the frequent practice of dumping near the edges of stockpiles and spoil piles. Dynamic berms, which are essential safety barriers, must be meticulously maintained at specific heights to mitigate these risks. The #BermMonitoring System (BMS) is a technological solution for this from #SouthAfrica’s Reutech Mining. High demand for slope stability assessments recently led consulting company Groundwork, part of SLR to pivot towards acquiring a Maptek™ LR3 #laserscanner for in-house monitoring services. Coming back to the #SlopeStability conference, another paper titled “Using coupled #discretefracture network and limit equilibrium analysis to improve #slopedesign reliability” was presented by consultancy WSP in Canada along with customer Rio Tinto Kennecott, the world-leading #copper mining operation in Utah. Lastly, developers at UK #IoT monitoring specialist Senceive have launched two products that extend the capability of #wireless #remotemonitoring in various mining applications. Firstly, the introduction of a satcomms capability means that the powerful technology can be deployed at the world’s most remote mine sites. In a further development, the team at #Senceive say they are delighted with the effectiveness of their new Digital Interface Node, which allows a diverse range of geotechnical, environmental and structural instruments to be integrated with existing wireless communications platforms. #minesafety #minemonitoring #slopemonitoring #futureofmining
