Stope Monitoring

“Know Your Stopes – Monitor. Analyze. Prevent.”

Stope Monitoring_12 - Droid Mining Solutions

Continuous monitoring of underground stopes for early warning of instability, ground movement, and rockfalls.

Stopes are some of the most dynamic and high-risk zones in underground mining. Using LiDAR drones, deformation analysis, and geotechnical sensors, we monitor their structural integrity continuously or periodically. This early warning system helps you avoid costly collapses, delays, and safety breaches.

Key Benefits

  • 🚧 Non-Invasive & Safer Than Manual Checks

  • 📍 Detects Movement Early – Saves Lives & Time

  • ⏱️ Faster Data Collection than Traditional Methods

  • 📊 Data-Driven Blasting & Reinforcement Decisions

 

  • Supports Regulatory Inspections & Compliance

✅Use Cases

  • 🧱 Ground Movement Monitoring : Detect shifts in stope walls or back before they become critical
  • 📊 Backfill Performance Analysis : Evaluate the success of paste/backfill in voids
  • 📆 Routine Safety Checks : Regular assessment to prevent sudden collapses
  • 📐 Volume & Shape Validation : Confirm if stope blasting matches mine design plans
