GroundProbe Tucson: Geotechnical Monitoring and Mining Technology in Arizona

At the heart of the mining sector in North America is GroundProbe's Tucson office. Our regional hub, which is situated in the copper-rich Sonoran Desert of Arizona, provides Tucson mine operators with top-notch geotechnical monitoring they rely on to maintain safe and effective operations.

We offer geotechnical support, monitoring systems, and technical expertise suited to the realities of mining in the South-west, from Tucson mining projects to operations throughout Nevada, Utah, and Mexico.

Tucson and the Mining Industry

For more than a century, mining has influenced Tucson's history and economy. With large open-pit mines running close to Tucson and throughout southern Arizona, Arizona is currently the state that produces the most copper in the United States.

In addition to copper, mining in Tucson and the surrounding area produces gold, silver, and molybdenum. Extremes in the desert climate, variable geology, and steep pit walls are some of the complicated geotechnical problems that come with such diversity.

With monitoring technology that has been tested in some of the world's most rigours mining environments, GroundProbe Tucson tackles these issues.

Why Tucson Matters for GroundProbe

Tucson is the centre of U.S. copper mining and a gateway to operations in northern Mexico, which is why we chose it as our North American base.

From here, our team delivers:

• Geotechnical support Tucson operators can rely on - fast response times and local expertise
• Access to world-leading technology - radars, LiDAR, and software tailored to desert and mountain conditions
• Training and knowledge-sharing - empowering North American teams to integrate monitoring into daily decision-making

Because we are local, we are aware of the realities of mining in Tucson and the surrounding areas, making sure that every solution is both workable and effective.

Mining Technology Tucson Operators Trust

Our Tucson team provides the full range of GroundProbe’s geotechnical monitoring solutions, including:

• Slope Stability Radars (SSR™): Trusted across Arizona’s largest copper pits, delivering real-time monitoring of slope movements.
• LiDAR Monitoring Systems: Ideal for tailings dam management and civil infrastructure, particularly in regions with high rainfall or seismic risk.
• Geotechnical Software: Turning raw data into predictive insights and timely alerts, supporting safer operational decisions.

To guarantee accuracy and dependability, every system we use for mining operations in Tucson is tested in local conditions, such as heat, dust, and abrupt weather changes.

Training and Knowledge Transfer in Tucson

Our Tucson office serves as a learning environment in addition to a service centre. We run comprehensive training programs for operators, engineers, and technicians, covering:

• Radar and LiDAR operation
• Data analysis and hazard interpretation
• Integration into mine safety protocols
• Preventive maintenance and emergency response

By funding training, we ensure that Tucson clients receive geotechnical support that goes beyond technical expertise and includes useful information they can use right away on the job site.

Supporting Mines Across North America

Although Tucson serves as our base, we have operations throughout the United States and Mexico. We back major sites in northern Mexico, polymetallic operations in Utah, and copper and gold projects in Nevada.

GroundProbe Tucson offers the monitoring equipment and knowledge required to protect people and property wherever mines are exposed to geotechnical risk, whether in arid regions or mountainous areas.

Partnerships and Industry Collaboration

We take pride in working with academic institutions, research centres, and mining associations in Arizona and elsewhere. Through these collaborations, we can support industry-wide best practices in risk management, tailings safety, and geotechnical monitoring.

The resilience and sustainability of mining in the area are enhanced by GroundProbe Tucson's integration of local collaborations with global innovation.

Why Partner with GroundProbe Tucson?

Because we combine local knowledge with proven worldwide expertise, mining companies choose GroundProbe Tucson. We collaborate as long-term partners in productivity and safety, not just as suppliers of systems.

GroundProbe Tucson provides geotechnical monitoring and support that is always nearby, whether you are introducing predictive software, managing tailings facilities, or expanding a copper pit.
