TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS OF PREVENTING SLOPE ANGLE VIOLATIONS IN THE MINE. MEASURING SLOPE ANGLES.

Slope failures are an inevitable aspect of economic pit slope designs in the mining industry. Large open pit guidelines and industry standards accept up to 30% of benches in open pits to collapse provided that they are controlled and that no personnel are at risk. Rigorous ground control measures including real time monitoring systems at TARP (trigger-action-response-plan) protocols are widely utilized to prevent personnel from being exposed to slope failure risks.
