GroundProbe Global Practice Lead – Geotechnical Advisory, Albert Giovanni Cabrejo Lievano Tailings dams go through different phases regarding monitoring with radar: Construction—The initial dropping of materials looks chaotic, evidenced by a loss of coherence. Deformation readings during this period are not reliable with radar. This is just the phase in which the dropped materials look […]
READ MOREProviding the support needed to ‘mine-to-plan without harming anyone’
GroundProbe Chief Commercial Officer & VP Americas, Ben Moke A little over two decades ago, a group of PhD students and their professor from the University of Queensland set out to make mining safer. By developing the slope stability radar (SSR), they, and many other innovative thinkers who have since joined them, have succeeded in […]
READ MORENew Atmospheric Correction for Slope Stability Radar
GroundProbe’s Head of Research & Development, Pat Bellett GroundProbe’s Co-Founder, Dr Glen Stickley Precision Atmospherics® sees a significant advancement in controlling atmospheric clutter that is typically associated with interferometric slope monitoring radar. Atmospherics can make user interpretation and the setting of geotechnical alarms non-intuitive and difficult, especially when trying to avoid unwanted alarms. As the […]
