Major Iron Ore Arterial Rail Slope Stability Monitoring, Minas Gerais, Brazil

EWS Devices were deployed across a remote open pit gold mine in Peru to provide connectivity to geotechnical data where no cellular coverage was available. Iridium VWT devices were connected to vibrating wire piezometers to log and transmit soil pore pressure data and the EWS Well-Cap was installed on groundwater bores across the mine to log and transmit groundwater level data. The devices provide improved visibility of data that impacts operational efficiency and removes the need for lengthy and dangerous field visits by mine workers.

EWS VWT Devices were deployed at a site near San Diego, California to log and transmit data from vibrating wire piezometers over the Iridium satellite network. The area had poor cellular coverage and data was critical for near real-time monitoring of soil pore pressure values that directly impacted the slope stability.
