Our customizable solutions provide real-time data collection and control, empowering you to make informed decisions and maintain compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

Why Choose Campbell Scientific for Mining Monitoring?

  • Tailored Solutions: Our versatile platforms range from basic devices with a few channels to expandable systems capable of measuring hundreds of channels, allowing customization for each specific application.
  • Comprehensive Sensor Compatibility: Our open architecture and flexible design enable integration with almost any sensor type, including voltage output, vibrating-wire, resistive, and digital sensors.
  • Reliable Data Collection: Program scan rates from once every few hours to 10,000 times per second, depending on the model, ensuring you capture the data you need when you need it.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Automated systems allow for frequent data collection in remote locations without the need for site visits, ensuring compliance with environmental constraints.

Applications in Mining

Tailings Production—With increasingly stringent legal constraints, mining companies have automated their tailings spigot disposal systems to produce according to the water input reaching the tailings disposal structure reservoirs, ensuring the safe operation of their structures.

Activation of Spillway Structures—Tailings dams have automatic activation systems for spillway structures based on reservoir levels, an excellent measure to eliminate the risk of overtopping.

Automated Instrumentation—Whether crackmeters in underground caverns, inclinometers on open-pit mine slopes, or piezometers installed in tailings piles, automated instruments are becoming more common to obtain quasi-real-time data, thus prioritising actions pertinent to asset safety management.

Environmental Monitoring—Due to environmental constraints, many weather stations are often installed in remote locations with difficult access. Automated monitoring allows more frequent data collection without site visits.

Slope Stability—Slope movement can be monitored 24/7 for long periods in harsh conditions with instantaneous communication alarms when critical thresholds have been met.
