We are so glad you’re attending the inaugural Geomechanics & Tailings Monitoring Technology Workshop hosted by Canary Systems!
This is a hands-on instrumentation, hardware and software workshop to learn first-hand from Canary Systems experts about important technologies for geomechanics and tailings risk management.
Each session, a Canary Systems engineer will present one technology in detail, its strengths and weaknesses, implementation and installation details, data presentation and analysis on Canary Systems MLWeb. This is followed by a hands-on exercise that includes connecting to the hardware and sensors, MultiLogger configuration for the data collection, database imports, data visualization and setup of outputs and reports in MLWeb.
As a reminder, all presentations will be available for download on our website after the workshop has concluded. You will be able to access them via the section for each session in the breakdown below.
Schedule & Objectives
On conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to connect to and collect data from a variety of sensors, and will be able to manipulate, visualize, map and analyze data in the MLWeb data management platform used for open pit, tailings and other stability monitoring applications in mines.
July 17 – Geomechanics
At the end of the session, participants will be able to connect to a GeoMos database, collect data and use software tools to set up and optimize calculations and visualization options relevant to open pit applications.

- Choosing a location for Total Station
- Field Installation Tips & Tricks
- Creating Connections with GeoMos
- Data Classing and Calculations
- Vectors and Contours
At the end of this session, participants will be able to correctly configure cable parameters and common profile views for internal deformation analysis in open pit and tailings dam operations.
TDRs
- TDR Cable Installation Techniques
- Configuring Cable Parameters
- Configuring TDR Charts
- Relative Vs. Absolute Reflectance
- Common Profile Views
July 18 – Tailings
The goal for this session is that participants will be able to correctly install and maintain piezometers, and create data conversions and visualizations common to slope stability operations.
Piezometers
