Canary Systems was tasked with developing the instrumentation setup for the operation’s mine. The goal was to streamline data collection, enhance monitoring efficiency, and provide a centralized platform to access critical data. The implementation involved the installation of 15 MLRemotes and 2 MLGPS systems.

To achieve comprehensive monitoring, 15 MLRemotes were installed to establish a seamless connection with several piezometers strategically placed in the dumping area. These instruments were crucial for automated monitoring of groundwater levels and pressure changes.

The placement of the MLGPS atop the mine dumping area serves the purpose of measuring 3D movement, monitoring the slope of the mine, and detecting any potential deformation. This positioning facilitates continuous monitoring and accurate assessment of changes in the mine slope over time. The second MLGPS functions as a base for gathering and transmitting data to the server.

Canary Systems’ responsibility also included the integration of 50 prisms (that were previously installed in the pit and being read by a total station) into the monitoring platform.
