Argyle Diamond Mine Surface Water Monitoring, Western Australia

Four large TSF's in Australia's Northern Territory and Northern Queensland area retrofitted 1000's of vibrating wire piezometer sensors with EWS' Iridium VWT devices to replace the unreliable radio datalogger networks previously installed. The upgrade provided the TSF's with the easy to install devices which transmit individually over the Iridium Satellite network, removing the risk of single point failure. The increased reliability and visibility of critical geotechnical data relating to the TSF assists the mine in meeting its GISTM obligations.

EWS' Iridium Satellite Telemetry Tilt Meters were deployed to monitor slope stability on sections of remote rail infrastructure along Brazil's largest mining company's rail line. The telemetry tilt meter devices are providing slope stability data from areas far outside of cellular coverage and provide are integrated with the mine companies central monitoring hub.
