Case 1 · Tier-1 copper mine

Greater safety and operational continuity through automated instability detection.

~40% of unstable blocks identified early Average of 4 unstable blocks detected per month FoS · PoF calculated by block

Early and georeferenced detection of instabilities on planned and constructed slopes. It is recommended to remove blocks with FoS ≤ 1.5 or PoF > 20% once the bench has been mined, increasing the reliability of the short-term plan.

“By reducing geotechnical events, we increase operational continuity and the reliability of our plans.”

Case 2 · Tier-1 copper and molybdenum mine

Stability analysis in hours, not weeks.

90% less analysis time (from one week to half a day) Automatic detection by structural domain

Centralization of structural information (historical and new), automatic detection of georeferenced instabilities, and design evaluation to increase berm width in key areas.

“The versatility of selecting structures for analysis by area allowed me to save a very significant amount of time.”
