Case Study: Global Mining and Metals Company reduces ground stability risk with Descartes Labs automated subsidence monitoring

Monitor ground stability across mine infrastructure

The global mining and metals company faced the significant challenge of monitoring ground stability across its dispersed and aging infrastructure, such as pit walls and tailings dams. To mitigate these tail-risks, the company turned to Descartes Labs for its automated, global subsidence and deformation monitoring system.

Descartes Labs implemented its high-frequency, weather-independent InSAR models to detect physical movement in remote locations. This solution decreased monitoring costs, resulting in 75% savings for the customer compared to traditional orbital radar programs.
