TAILINGS DAM MONITORING

Comprehensive Monitoring of Tailings Dams Means Reduced Risk of Failure

Create a digital twin of your tailings storage facility (TSF) and go beyond just measuring with sensors. Skycatch high-accuracy drone data 
(below 3 cm) provides a holistic way to monitor your site.

Tailings dam monitoring is imperative. Regulations require it. But, IoT devices like piezometers and inclinometers are limited to a single point of measurement. Mitigate your risk by adding Skycatch high-accuracy 3D drone-based data, visuals, and analysis to your monitoring. View and measure all in one place with the
Data Hub visualization and analytics platform.

THE PROBLEM WITH EXISTING METHODS

The monitoring of tailings dams has gone through significant improvements in recent years with the introduction of sensors and other devices to measure movement in the ground. But, because the devices are limited to a specific point, they do not provide a holistic view of the dam.

“Our secret sauce has always been in automating high-accuracy drone data. And, now customers can leverage Skycatch to expand the view and to better understand risks in their tailings dams. As an example, drone-based solutions can be used to automate the detection of seepage, overtopping, foundation failure, subsidence, and more. The possibilities are endless!”
