SLOPE STABILITY MONITORING
K2fly ’ s Dams & Tailings solution combines monitoring , data capture , management and governance to make it the complete end-to-end solution
and the communities and environments in which they operate , is the farreaching damage that occurs if they fail . Brazil ’ s Brumadinho tailings dam disaster , the largest and most recent in a spate of TSF failures , triggered an unprecedented overhaul of global safety regulations leading to the introduction of the world ’ s first global safety standards for tailings management . As a result , resources companies are now required to be more transparent in their disclosure of tailings risk and insurers have been quick to line-up behind the new standards making insurance cover difficult to secure unless miners can demonstrate compliance .
Mine operators estimated it could take up to six weeks per site to collate their tailings data for industry requests using traditional manual processes and siloed datasets . For large-scale businesses , with more than 50 facilities , this can be an expensive and demanding process . K2fly offers an end-to-end Dams & Tailings solution that it says takes TSF management to a new level – combining governance and an even bigger range of data sources to significantly streamline the complex and costly process of tailings monitoring , management and reporting .
The cloud-based application combines regulatory compliance management , mining waste management , stakeholder engagement , environmental monitoring , and environmental management system into a single feature-rich package , with secure global access , to industry , regulators , designers and operators can share data and monitor facilities from anywhere in the world , at any time . Powerful data dashboards are one of the many ways the mining and resources industry is using advances in software to safely TSFs – driving down cost , creating visibility of risks , protecting people and the environment , and meeting stringent new tailings governance requirements .
The company states : “ K2fly ’ s customised dashboard pulls top line information into a crisp , graphical view . Users no longer have to drill down to dissect individual datasets . Instead , we deliver a snapshot of the status of TSF assets on a single screen . No other Dams & Tailings management solution brings together as many tailings and environmental monitoring components into a single , centralised repository .”
The innovative solution is helping a number of ICMM members keep its finger on the pulse of tailings storage infrastructure across global operations and help support adherence to the recent Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management ( GISTM ), an initiative the ICMM continues to implement and enforce . The integrated system brings together a comprehensive suite of tools , including geo-spatial feeds such as earth observations , InSAR , landform , erosion tracking and weather conditions , overlayed with mapping and blast data , environmental monitoring and sampling results , and stakeholder details .
It offers company managers , technical specialists and operating staff around the world three levels of interrogation and the records they need for accurate , timely tailings disclosure with external analysts and regulators . The levels include :
