“MINExpo 2012 promises to provide us with the perfect opportunity to exhibit our slope monitoring solutions. Attendees will see how our SSR^TM and our Work Area Monitor (WAM^TM) measure the movement of slopes in open pit mines, and provide early warning for the safe evacuation of people and equipment in case of a wall collapse,” said GroundProbe’s Sales Representative, John Metzger. “Our technology detects the amount, shape and degree of the wall movement, and indicates where movement occurs. With this information, a decision can be made to safely evacuate people and assets.”

Analysis of the data produced by these radars can be used to further understand a mine’s condition. Geotechnical engineers or mine engineers use the data to perform predictive analysis and plan more productive and profitable operations. Interpreting the data makes it possible to manage high risk areas and increase the life of the mine.
