Tailings dams

Tailings dams are engineered structures built to store and contain the waste materials called tailings that result from mining and mineral extraction processes. Tailings dams can present environmental risks if not adequately designed, constructed, maintained and monitored.

What is tailings dams monitoring? A tailings dam is a structure used in mining operations to store waste material, or tailings, that is produced during the processing of mineral ores. Tailings are the finely ground rock particles and other materials that are left over after the desired mineral has been extracted from the ore. The […]

Underground mining monitoring What is UNDERGROUND minING monitoring? Underground mining monitoring is crucial for ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability in mining operations. Specifically, monitoring systems provide critical data on rock stability, stress changes, and environmental conditions. This information is essential for preventing structural failures and optimizing extraction processes. At Sisgeo, we focus on delivering reliable, […]

Open pit mine monitoring

The image shows an open-pit mine, one of the most important geotechnical excavation works that man can undertake. The monitoring system in a mine is very important to ensure the efficiency of the mine workings and, above all, the safety of the miners.

Open pit mine monitoring What is open pit mine monitoring? Open pit mines are large mining operations where materials are extracted from the earth. They are called “open pit” because they are created by removing large amounts of rock and soil from the ground, creating a large open hole or pit.Geotechnical monitoring in open pit […]
