Mining
Mining sites are often complex and wide areas that cover a range of assets including mine pits, tailings storage facilities (TSF) / tailings dams, piles and transport networks. Avoiding management failures across the mining life cycle is important to ensure the safety of staff, surveyors and local residents; environmental impact of the mining activities; production downtime; and commercial and reputational damage. Satellite capabilities, including ground deformation, such as subsidence monitoring, are key technologies for enabling evidence-based decision making across the entire mining lifecycle: design, exploitation, and after closure.
Working together with world leading geotechnical mining experts, Telespazio provides the following benefits to the mining industry:
- Optimisation of mining mitigation measures, deployment of surveillance teams and equipment
- Enhanced geotechnical analysis with access to historical satellite data
- Remote measurements to avoid access limitations in conventional surveying techniques
- Improved mining safety through ground monitoring with millimetric precision
- Integration of InSAR with other geodetic data to provide holistic mining solutions
