Tailings dams are an essential part of mining operations, and their ongoing management is a key driver for mine productivity and continuity of operations. These dams store the byproducts of mining, like slurry, fine waste, and water. Unlike traditional water dams, tailings dams grow and change throughout the life of a mine, making them more …

The stability of slopes is impacted by multiple factors, the type of materials in (and under) the slope, environmental factors local to the slope, and of course gravity. This blog takes a brief slide down the factors affecting slope stability – let’s go! Slope stability is ultimately determined by factors such as the angle of the slope and …
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) encompass various satellite constellations in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Each satellite in these constellations transmits positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers on Earth. By utilising multiple constellations, GNSS-enabled devices can enhance accuracy through time synchronisation and the geometric principle of triangulation. Selecting the Right Technology is Crucial In the …

Transformational Australian-designed displacement monitoring technology that’s enabling new business opportunities for surveyors and engineers. Routine displacement and settlement monitoring measurements of critical infrastructure has required a surveyor to be physically present on-site or the use of sophisticated monitoring equipment. This presents a significant barrier to entry for many surveying and geotechnical engineering businesses wanting to …
New technology means that governments and surveyors can leverage reliable and cost-effective continuous movement monitoring at more sites than ever before. In October 2022, a large active landslip at the Bogong High Plains Road cut off a vital transport link between Melbourne and Falls Creek, causing both community evacuations and negative economic implications for the …

Australian IoT GNSS pioneer Kurloo Technology has celebrated an important milestone in its global expansion with the appointment of Global Survey as their exclusive distribution partner in New Zealand. In 2022, Kurloo Technology launched this new displacement monitoring solution that has gained substantial interest and uptake from surveyors, engineers, and geotechnical professionals. The technology, accessible …
Introduction The use of remote sensing methods to monitor 3D deformation across large areas is rapidly increasing. Radar, INSAR, Aerial LiDAR, and Drone-based LIDAR and photogrammetry can all be cost-effective and unobtrusive methods for routine monitoring of slope and ground surface deformation over large project areas. However, one of the ongoing challenges with these remote …
Australia’s economy has largely arisen from a number of disparate industries: mining, tourism, cattle farming, construction, to name a few big players. But behind all of these industries, since the dawn of the 19th century, sits Australia’s railway network. Serving every sector of the economy in some fashion, whether as freight or passenger transport, railways …
