Ways to minimize production risks when using the automated mine surveying deformation monitoring system at open-pit mines

Hazardous production facilities at open-pit mines are zones characterized by the presence of natural or man-made factors causing emergencies and life safety threats. When conducting mining operations and processing solid minerals, it is necessary to monitor the condition of sides, trenches, ledges, slopes and dumps, and areas of possible collapses or failures. The monitoring is carried out by the mine surveying de-partment. They conduct instrumental observations of displacement processes, deformations of the earth's surface, buildings, and structures. The stationary benchmarks adapted for attaching stationary reflectors and measuring instruments help to minimize risk factors during instrumental observations. This allows for remote monitoring without the presence of people in danger zones. The automatic remote monitoring system allows for measuring cycles at high speeds and small frequencies, which eliminates errors caused by the human factor. Constantly updated parameters of the monitored object are used to predict the state of the object with a high degree of reliability, prevent accidents or calculate economic indicators of consequences.
