The Challenge
What the Client Needed
The mine operator faced significant safety and compliance risks from inadequate spatial monitoring of an active tailings storage facility and open pit operations. Traditional quarterly ground surveys were too slow to detect early warning signs of ground movement, and volumetric calculations for ore extraction were unreliable.
Our Solution
How TANGIS Delivered
TANGIS deployed an integrated spatial intelligence system combining 6-monthly LiDAR aerial surveys, a permanent IoT sensor network on the tailings dam, and a 3D digital twin dashboard accessible to the mine's engineering and executive teams. The system provides real-time displacement alerts, automated volumetric reporting, and compliance-ready audit trails.
