Managing Slope Stability in Open Pit Mines

Learn best practices for creating safer environments for open pit walls, tailings dams, and embankments.

Each day, mining professionals at open pit mines face slope stability challenges such as unexpected slope movements caused by unknown geologic structures, weather, or seismic activity. These challenges become harder to manage when trying to find the right balance between implementing safe slope designs with the growing industry trend toward steeper and deeper mines. Although finding this balance can be difficult, using the right tools and techniques to manage slope stability significantly improves confidence for pit slopes.

This ebook will give you an overview of the most effective tools and best practices for managing slope stability in open pit mines, from slope design to performance monitoring.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Which digital technologies are transforming the way mining works
• Best multi-purpose tools for field investigations, modeling, and slope design
• Technologies for periodic and continuous slope monitoring
• Best practices for increasing safety near the highwall
• How to reduce repetitive work, harness automation, and add business value

Now you can learn new ways to manage slope stability in open pit mines.
