INDUSTRIES WE SERVE: MINING
Mine-wine risk intelligence, all in one view
Mining operations face growing challenges from ageing infrastructure, evolving environmental risks, and the need to operate safely and efficiently.
We provide the clarity to understand what’s changing and the confidence to know what to do next.
Gain complete mide-wide visibility
By combining satellite-based monitoring with the advanced capabilities of for·see Mining, Geofem provides ongoing, mine-wide insight into geotechnical, environmental and operational risks.
"Monitoring individual mining assets in isolation is challenging."
Operational risk is rarely driven by a single factor. Understanding emerging hazards across mining and tailings operations requires a connected view of the wider environment and the factors influencing asset behaviour.
Detect change remotely with millimetric precision
Geofem measures ground deformation at the millimetre scale across the entire mining operation, identifying movement affecting Tailings Storage Facilities, open pits, waste rock dumps, haul roads, processing infrastructure and surrounding terrain, often before visible signs of instability emerge.
"We suspect deformation, but we can't prove it."
Mining operations are constantly exposed to geotechnical risks. But when movement is subtle, widespread or difficult to access, conventional monitoring can make it challenging to understand where deformation is occurring, how it is changing over time, and whether it signals a developing risk.
Benefit from expert insight, not just data
Our geotechnical engineers analyse and validate satellite data to turn complex signals into clear, reliable intelligence, identifying and ranking areas of concern. This gives you the confidence to act early, prioritise effectively, and focus resources where intervention is most needed.
“Satellite data can be hard to interpret"
Data on its own, without engineering interpretation, can often be difficult to translate into clear, actionable decisions.
Unlock the value of historical insights
Access over 10 years of historical data to uncover trends, patterns, and slow developing risks, placing today’s movement in full context.
"We need to understand what has happened over the last five years."
Geotechnical failures rarely occur without warning. Ground movement and instability often develop gradually beneath the surface, remaining undetected until they escalate into significant incidents.
Benefit from a holistic evaluation
Discover how ground behaviour, terrain, water, infrastructure and environmental factors interact to influence overall operational risk, helping teams prioritise interventions, allocate resources effectively and develop a long-term risk management strategy.
“We need to understand how risks connect.”
Disconnected monitoring can make it difficult to identify relationships between ground behaviour, water, infrastructure and environmental conditions — limiting the ability to prioritise interventions and manage risk proactively.
Add complementary intelligence without disruption
We integrate seamlessly into your existing workflows, enhancing your current monitoring with an additional layer of geospatial intelligence that improves visibility, validates findings, and strengthens decision-making.
"We want a solution we can integrate"
Relying on new data alone without context from existing monitoring systems is limiting.
Reduce disruption.
Avoid costly emergency interventions.
Support proactive maintenance planning.
