Problem
Tailings storage facilities (TSFs) present a significant risk of failure, potentially leading to loss of life, environmental disasters, and disruption of commercial operations. Existing monitoring solutions often rely on slow, resource-intensive processes that lack the accuracy and real-time insights needed for effective risk management.
Solution
Overwatch provides real-time subsurface monitoring of TSFs through a combination of patent-pending probe technology and an IoT network. The system directly measures geological, geophysical, and hydrogeological changes known to contribute to TSF failure. Data is transmitted to a secure digital interface, providing stakeholders with a digital twin solution to visualize asset health, streamline threat identification, and automate reporting. This proactive approach enables timely interventions to prevent catastrophic events and ensure adherence to global safety standards.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes mining companies, geotechnical engineers, and environmental consultants responsible for the safety and stability of tailings storage facilities.
