Mine Site Watch

Automated satellite analytics map mineral site growth and monitor tailings dam stability in near real-time to support regulatory compliance and safety.

How does it work?

Many mining operations struggle to track unauthorized expansions and assess tailings dam integrity using infrequent field surveys. AI-driven geospatial analysis provides high-frequency, objective mapping and deformation detection to ensure timely interventions and regulatory adherence.

Frequent Site Updates

Automated processing of satellite and drone imagery delivers mining site and tailings dam maps weekly or daily. This high cadence avoids blind spots and supports proactive planning.

Deformation Alerts

AI algorithms detect subtle ground shifts and dam wall deformations with centimeter-level accuracy. Early warnings enable engineers to address stability issues before incidents occur.

Expansion Tracking

Precise mapping quantifies excavation volumes and footprint changes over time. This helps operators monitor unauthorized activities and optimize resource allocation.

Compliance Reporting

Preformatted geospatial reports align with regulatory standards and EIA requirements. Automated documentation reduces manual effort and ensures audit readiness.

Risk Mitigation

Integrated hazard models flag potential breach scenarios based on topography and water levels. Operators can run what-if analyses to plan mitigation and emergency response.

Stakeholder Transparency

Interactive dashboards visualize site changes for regulators, investors, and communities. This openness fosters trust and supports sustainable mining practices.

How does this compare to traditional field inspections?
Remote geospatial monitoring captures site changes more frequently and over larger areas than periodic field surveys. It complements on-site inspections by providing continuous data for targeted follow-ups.
Why is AI-based monitoring popular among mining companies?
Mining firms adopt AI-driven analytics for its speed and objectivity in detecting expansion and structural risks. Automated workflows reduce manual analysis and accelerate decision cycles.
Are there limitations in cloudy or low-resolution imagery?
Optical satellite data can be obstructed by cloud cover or haze, limiting visibility in some regions. Platforms often integrate SAR and high-resolution drone imagery to maintain consistent monitoring.
Can I use drones instead of satellites for monitoring?
Yes, drone flights offer higher spatial resolution and flexible scheduling for focused areas of interest. Satellites complement drones by covering remote or expansive sites without flight restrictions.
What alternatives exist for tailings dam monitoring?
Ground-based sensors like piezometers and inclinometers provide localized stability measurements but require installation and maintenance. Geospatial monitoring offers non-invasive, site-wide insights and early deformation alerts.
How frequently can I receive site change updates?
Update frequency depends on your chosen imagery sources—commercial satellites can deliver daily passes while drones provide on-demand coverage. Automated pipelines ensure processed maps and alerts are delivered as soon as new data arrives.
