Slope failures and other geotechnical hazards can be identified early thanks to GroundProbe’s slope stability monitoring systems, which are designed to give constant, real-time visibility of ground movement. Keeping an accurate, high-resolution picture of slope behaviour is essential for both safety and productivity in settings where slope instability presents serious risks, such as open-pit mines, tailings dams, and major civil construction projects.
LiDAR systems, background monitoring technologies, and satellite-based InSAR services are used in conjunction with our radar-based monitoring solutions, such as the SSR-XT, SSR-Omni, and SSR-SARx. When combined, these systems provide sub-millimetre accuracy in measuring ground displacement and deformation, giving operators useful information to stop slope instabilities before they worsen.

InSAR Service
The GroundProbe InSAR Service, in partnership with 3vGeomatics (3vG), is an effective tool for monitoring and detecting surface movement. It uses satellite-based radars which conduct scans every time they pass over the mine site.

SSR-SARx
Designed to identify long-range risks and hazards, the SSR-SARx is a long-range and high-resolution system for the monitoring of tailings dams. The SSR-SARx is a 2D Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) designed to detect even the smallest of movements over long periods of time.

SSR-FX
The SSR-FX is a monitoring system designed to provide geotechnical peace of mind. An expert tool for risk and hazard identification, the SSR-FX is a 2D Real Aperture Radar (RAR) specialising in detecting movement across vast mine sites over a long period of time, even in non-critical areas.

SSR-XT
A tactical and targeted solution, the SSR-XT monitors movement that poses a potential or immediate threat to mine slopes, tailings dams, and surrounding infrastructures in general. The strong precision of its 3D Real Aperture Radar (RAR) ensures that areas of concern are monitored in real-time to ensure safety-critical management of at-risk areas.

The Challenges of Monitoring Slope Stability
Slope monitoring poses a special set of difficulties that may jeopardise effectiveness and safety. Heavy rainfall, seismic activity, and seasonal weather changes can all hasten slope movement, and traditional monitoring is challenging to set up or maintain in many mining environments due to their remote or dangerous locations.
Slope movements can be subtle and frequently occur gradually, making them difficult to detect without highly sensitive equipment. This is perhaps the biggest challenge. On the other hand, slopes can also fail quickly, necessitating the use of technology that can detect them in real time and provide prompt alerts.
Because of this, GroundProbe’s slope monitoring systems are built to run consistently and dependably, gathering enormous volumes of data to aid in long-term trend modelling and predictive analysis. Our technology guarantees that operators can react swiftly and confidently to shifting ground conditions thanks to high-resolution imaging, automated scanning, and sophisticated alarm systems.

Slope Stability Monitoring FAQs
How does slope stability monitoring differ from general geotechnical monitoring?
Slope stability monitoring concentrates on pit walls, embankments, and naturally occurring or artificially created slopes, whereas geotechnical monitoring encompasses a broad range of ground behaviour and structural stability. Continuous slope monitoring is crucial for identifying both slow-moving and fast-moving deformations in these regions because they carry a high failure risk for mining and civil projects.
H4: How accurate are GroundProbe’s slope stability monitoring systems?
The SSR-XT, SSR-Omni, and SSR-SARx are among our radar systems that are designed for sub-millimetre accuracy. As a result, mine operators can react quickly and prevent larger-scale slope failures by detecting even the smallest ground displacements. This guarantees accurate, real-time analysis and predictive modelling when combined with our MonitorIQ® software.
Can slope stability monitoring be automated or remotely operated?
Yes. Every GroundProbe slope monitoring system is completely automated and has remote control functionality. After being deployed, they monitor specified slopes continuously and send data to centralised platforms for alerting and visualisation. This lessens the need for workers in dangerous situations by enabling round-the-clock monitoring from control rooms or off-site locations.
What types of site benefit from slope stability monitoring?
Open-pit mining, tailings dam management, civil construction projects (such as highways and tunnels), and quarries all make extensive use of slope monitoring. Continuous slope stability monitoring will be beneficial in any setting where slope movement could endanger operations, infrastructure, or safety.
What makes GroundProbe’s slope stability monitoring unique?
Our systems integrate software for predictive analysis and user-friendly visualisation with radar precision that leads the world. But it’s our local knowledge and assistance that really makes GroundProbe stand out.
