SLOPE STABILITY MONITORING
for data interpretation.
“The system is georeferenced for full 3D
identification of alarming points. Adaptable alarm
settings may be applied for relative range
(cumulative displacement), average velocity and
velocity delta (acceleration or deceleration) for
both negative and positive movement from the
sensor. In addition, amplitude and coherence data
as well as information pertaining to the refractive
index can be utilised in order to interpret pit slope
movement classes, patterns and transitions. This
system will enable much tighter or finer alarms to
be applied with a reduced possibility of false
alarms. This functionality enhances operational
avenues for the user in collaboration with pit slope
management campaigns. In line with the Standard
and Modular series of MSRs, MSR IV Esprit data
can be viewed on the MSR Connect platform. The
full capabilities of the MSR IV Esprit are being
realised each and every time this system is
deployed, no matter the condition of the pit slope
or the atmosphere.”
Hexagon Mining & IDS GeoRadar
connect slope stability monitoring
with mine ops
As pit walls become steeper and open-pit mines
look at pushbacks, slope monitoring technology is
ever more important. So too is the need to alert
personnel in real time of potential dangers.
Slope failure and rock falls are among the main
causes of casualties in mines. Mining companies
invest a lot of money every year in monitoring
equipment to keep that risk under control. In
particular, the most dangerous areas in the pit are
where the extraction is in progress due to the
instability induced by blasting activities and the
material removal, which can continuously affect
the ground stability.
Closing an operation because of an incident can
cost millions per day. A higher safety level ensures
greater productivity. Integration announced in June
between Hexagon’s Mining division and its slope
Integration between IDS GeoRadar and the
Hexagon Mining HxGN MineProtect portfolio
means that mines can now receive real-time
equipment visualisation with timely alerts about
hazardous areas for people and machinery
monitoring arm, IDS GeoRadar now connects
systems for safety and radar-based slope stability
hazards. Via real-time equipment visualisation,
integration ensures timely alerts about hazardous
areas for people and machinery.
“The additional layer of information created by
this integration means better risk evaluation and
