Tailings dams are an essential part of mining operations, and their ongoing management is a key driver for mine productivity and continuity of operations. These dams store the byproducts of mining, like slurry, fine waste, and water. Unlike traditional water dams, tailings dams grow and change throughout the life of a mine, making them more … Read more "Tailings Dams – Managing Risk and Ensuring Safety for the Future" The post Tailings Dams – Managing Risk and Ensuring Safety for the Future first appeared on Kurloo ..read more

The stability of slopes is impacted by multiple factors, the type of materials in (and under) the slope, environmental factors local to the slope, and of course gravity. This blog takes a brief slide down the factors affecting slope stability – let’s go!   Slope stability is ultimately determined by factors such as the angle of the slope and … Read more "Factors That Influence Slope Stability" The post Factors That Influence Slope Stability first appeared on Kurloo ..read more

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) encompass various satellite constellations in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Each satellite in these constellations transmits positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers on Earth. By utilising multiple constellations, GNSS-enabled devices can enhance accuracy through time synchronisation and the geometric principle of triangulation.  Selecting the Right Technology is Crucial In the … Read more "Geospatial Monitoring Harnessing the Power of GNSS" The post Geospatial Monitoring Harnessing the Power of GNSS first appeared on Kurloo ..read more

New technology means that governments and surveyors can leverage reliable and cost-effective continuous movement monitoring at more sites than ever before. In October 2022, a large active landslip at the Bogong High Plains Road cut off a vital transport link between Melbourne and Falls Creek, causing both community evacuations and negative economic implications for the tourist region. Victoria’s Department of Transport and Planning and Major Roads Projects Victoria undertook remediation efforts to restore the road and re-engineer the high slope. A collaboration with Veris and WSP consulting ..read more

Transformational Australian-designed displacement monitoring technology that’s enabling new business opportunities for surveyors and engineers. Routine displacement and settlement monitoring measurements of critical infrastructure has required a surveyor to be physically present on-site or the use of sophisticated monitoring equipment. This presents a significant barrier to entry for many surveying and geotechnical engineering businesses wanting to offer the service due to limitations in expert staff availability and the associated risks of investing in dedicated automated equipment, especial ..read more
