When it comes to ensuring ongoing safety performance of mining and civil operations, understanding the difference between predictive and reactive monitoring, as part of a risk management plan, is key. What is Predictive Monitoring? Predictive monitoring anticipates future exposure based on past performance data. The predictive technologies and software solutions currently used within the industry […]
READ MOREThe Risks, the Consequences, and the Solutions to Preventing Tailings Dam Failures
The global mining industry produces billions of tonnes of tailings each year. This waste material is contained in tailings dams and storage facilities, which are among some of the world’s largest engineering structures. These large structures are at constant risk of failure due to the physical pressure applied by liquid and solid products, posing a […]
