International Mining Article – Excerpt – ‘Bringing new stability’
In the August 2025 issue of International Mining, David Noon, Vice President of Geosolutions at Orica Digital Solutions, shares how artificial intelligence, integrated technologies, and a global network of geotechnical experts are shaping the future of slope stability monitoring.
“Our portfolio doesn’t just monitor slopes; we safeguard lives, communities, and infrastructure. And that’s a responsibility we’re proud to lead.”
— David Noon, Vice President Geosolutions
AI is enabling faster interpretation of vast datasets, spotting early signs of instability, and supporting predictive modelling to improve risk assessments. Combined with high-precision monitoring and expert analysis, it is helping mining operations act before risks escalate.
The Geosolutions portfolio brings together industry leaders, including #GroundProbe, #RST, #Measurand, #3vG, #Syscom, and #Navstar, alongside trusted partners like Trimble, offering unmatched breadth in geotechnical, structural, and environmental monitoring. This integration allows for tailored, site-specific strategies backed by local service and global insight.
David also highlights the rapid growth of Geotechnical Specialist Services (GSS), now a 170-plus-strong team operating from three global monitoring centres. Supporting over 120 sites in 18 countries, GSS provides 24/7, sensor-agnostic monitoring of radars, GNSS, Robotic Total Stations, piezometers, cameras, and more, turning complex data into actionable decisions that protect people, assets, and operations.
