To help with timely data reduction and processing, customized calculations, graphs and reports were created through MLWeb® software to convert and visualize raw data from the field, including calibration and correction factors, for example:

• Correlation of Piezometer data with precipitation plotted on a second y-axis
• Hourly Rain Gauge data including cumulative precipitation
• Inclinometer data including incremental and cumulative displacement values; special attention was paid to incorporate changes to the inclinometer sensor elevations taking place during the mining season shutdown period
• Graphs of relative reflectance with depth for each TDR
• Extensometer data including incremental displacement vs. time

Automated validation rules filter false high or low readings such as those induced due to blasts or ground vibrations in the tilt sensors from automotives or locomotives, while retaining the original data in the database.

Data reaching or exceeding thresholds, including rate of change thresholds, is highlighted in red in the web portal while automated alarms and notifications communicate via e-mail the trigger instrument(s) and their last 5 reading results to key staff. A newly designed early warning system provides immediate audio-visual alarms for the crew in the immediate vicinity.
