Open pit mines, terrestrial laser scanner, displacement monitoringAbstract
A remote real-time monitoring system was developed for the remote real-time monitoring of mine slope deformation and internal forces. The system is based on cloud-computing technology and a 5S multimedia streaming monitoring data transmission system. It has now been applied to an open-pit iron mine in Nanfen to monitor the horizontal displacement of potential sliding surfaces. Compared with geometric monitoring methods in traditional geodetic surveying, the results show that this monitoring system has higher accuracy (0.01 mm) and the ability to monitor in real time for 24 h Slope instability of open-pit mines has adverse impacts on the overall mine profitability, safety and environment. The slope of an open-pit mine is crucially influenced by the slope geometry, quality of rock mass and presence of geological features and their properties. In open pit mines the aspect of preventing and forecasting the threat of landslides and rock falls is crucial issue because of the significant consequences that instabilities may have. Systematic slope stability monitoring is necessary to ensure safe and continuous mining operations. The development of innovative technologies, such as 3D laser scanning, opens up new possibilities, especially in the case of large and hard-to-reach areas, such as open pit mines. Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) provide fast, efficient, detailed, and accurate three-dimensional data. The article discusses the use of 3D terrestrial laser scanning method to monitor slope displacements and landslides in open pit mines. The first part of the article discusses the risk scale of gravitational displacement on the slopes, on examples of world open pit mines, and introduces the most common slope monitoring methods. Then, the principles of 3D terrestrial laser scanning were defined, and some examples of TLS applications in the open pit mines were presented.
