Associated events
The ACG is committed to supporting the development of modern, efficient and profitable mining operations throughout the world. To this end, the ACG presents
worldwide training courses and events; the objective of which is to rapidly develop capacity through technology transfer and teaching best practice that enhances
mining organisations’ profitability and minimises future environmental impacts from their mining operations. The ACG is proud to host two, one day workshops to
accompany FMGM 2015 that are both targeted to supporting the continued development and application of advanced monitoring systems to all types of mine sites and
their waste landforms.
The first workshop, InSAR and Emerging Technologies Workshop, will focus on all types of remote sensing together with emerging technologies for monitoring both
above and below ground level. In terms of remote sensing , the scope includes both space borne InSAR, high resolution optical imagery and the use of robotics
such as unmanned aerial vehicles. For ground based monitoring the focus will be specifically on the integration of both surface and subsurface monitoring including
inclinometric, piezometric, and seismic arrays.
A key advantages of remote sensing is that it enables infrequent, multi-dimensional long term monitoring capability for wide area coverage both within mine sites and
in outlying areas. The uses of satellite based synthetic aperture RADAR (SAR), as well as interferometric SAR (InSAR) systems, have been gradually gaining popularity
as a tool for geotechnical and environmental monitoring of mines. These, together with satellite based high resolution optical imagery are now the primary remote
sensing methods. The use of repeat imaging of a mine site can provide wide area coverage with very high resolution measurements of ground movement and erosion.
In addition, companies undertaking this work have made considerable progress in adding value added services to InSAR data and optical imaging. Examples of these
services include land cover determination, feature extraction, persistent change detection and monitoring, terrain slope characterisation, soils modelling and saturated
ground detection. In addition to SAR, considerable advances have been made in remote sensing by using a wide variety of different types of unmanned aerial/piloted
vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones and also referred to as remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), in monitoring mine sites.
There have also been advances in sub-surface monitoring, including integrated arrays of in-place inclinometers and piezometers, and micro-seismic equipment .
Advances in hardware and software have made these systems rapidly deployable and capable of providing near-real-time data with improved spatial detail. These
advanced sub-surface systems are increasingly integrated with advanced surface systems including InSAR to provide a 3D view from surface to depth. The first workshop
will address these topics with presentations outlining both the capabilities of the different technologies, as well as by using case studies illustrating their application to
monitoring active operations, mine waste landforms and closed or abandoned mine sites.
The second workshop, Radar and Monitoring Workshop, will focus on new developments relating to conventional terrestrial monitoring systems such as open pit radars,
prisms, laser scanning, photogrammetry, as well as the integration of the different types of these monitoring systems and their interpretation. Radar systems have become
widely used throughout the mining industry as the primary safety critical monitoring system and provide close-in, focussed, real time monitoring and alarming capabilities
for active mining operations. However, due to the dynamic nature of mining, radar monitoring usually takes place over relatively short to medium term periods.
