Slope Stability Radar for Motheo Mine

The document outlines the implementation of an advanced Slope Stability Radar (SSR) system at the Motheo mines, specifically in the T3 pit, aimed at early detection of slope movements. The SSR will monitor key parameters such as deformation and velocity, with alarms set based on data analysis to ensure timely responses to potential risks. The system will be solar/diesel-powered and connected to a geotech server for continuous monitoring of high-risk areas.

Here’s the text we’re looking at: Automated and continuous Slope Stability Radars

The Slope Stability Radar (SSR) system is equipped with an advanced alarm feature
that helps in the early detection of slope movements. This includes monitoring for
deformation, coherence, tracking, velocity, inverse velocity, and velocity ratio.
We’re planning to implement a Slope Stability Radar at the Motheo mines, starting
with the T3 pit. Depending on how quickly we observe movements in the final walls
and the associated risk levels, we can set up specialized alarms to ensure a
quicker response time. The settings for deformation alarms will be based on a
thorough analysis of the collected data and back analysis, which will allow us to
detect instability early on. This proactive approach will trigger more detailed
investigations and help us take informed steps to mitigate risks.

Great input, Thokomelo! Here’s a polished and detailed technical explanation that
merges your Sandfire geotech briefing with the advanced SSR insights I shared
earlier. This version is perfect for your end-of-attachment report, technical
presentation, or logbook.

## 📡 **Automated and Continuous Slope Stability Radar Monitoring at Sandfire Motheo


Mine (T3 Pit)**

### 🧠 **Purpose and Role**

The **Slope Stability Radar (SSR)** is a cutting-edge, real-time monitoring system


designed to catch early signs of ground movement in open-pit mines. At Sandfire’s
Motheo Mine, we’ll strategically place the SSR system at the T3 pit to keep an eye
on the **final walls**, ensuring a **continuous, automated geotechnical
surveillance system**.

### ⚙️ **System Setup and Deployment**

* **Positioning**: The SSR will be set up with a clear **line-of-sight to high-risk


slope areas** (like final walls and ramps).
* **Power and Connectivity**: This unit will be **solar/diesel-powered** and
connected to the geotech server via 4G/LAN.
* **Region of Interest (ROI)** setup will be tailored to geotechnical hazard zones
and operational requirements.
* **Scanning Parameters**:

* Resolution: 0.1–0.5 m/pixel


* Frequency: 2–5 minutes (adjustable)
* Measurement Accuracy: ±0.
