Monitoring tailings storage facilities (TSFs) isn't always about adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you have existing sensors and connectivity but lack a data viewing platform, or if there's no infrastructure in place at your TSFs, we have tailored tailings dam monitoring solutions for you. Our satellite-enabled solution offers two tiers of service: Tailings Insight - Cloud and Tailings Insight - Plus — providing varying levels of support to ensure safer and more transparent TSF management globally.
The challenge
Managing tailings dams is highly challenging due to operational hurdles like remote and widely dispersed TSF locations across the globe, and regulatory considerations. However, our Tailings Monitoring solutions can help you redefine the future of mining by addressing these challenges. Safeguarding the lives of thousands, protecting fragile ecosystems, and meeting regulatory compliance have never been so straightforward.
Our solution
Tailings Monitoring - Plus
For those aiming to excel in TSF management or facing connectivity challenges, Tailings Insight – Plus is an ideal choice. Centered around our award-winning cloud application, it sets the gold standard in TSF management. Our solution offers connectivity, integration, and ongoing local support, ensuring deep, real-time insight into your tailings facilities and the conditions that affect them. It’s perfect for those serious about effective TSF management, whether focusing on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) or monitoring hard-to-reach and unconnected dam sites.
Connectivity services
The solution combines Viasat’s Tailings Insight – Cloud application, global L-band satellite connectivity, LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) edge connectivity, sensor integration, installation, training, and ongoing support. Data is transferred from sensors via LoRaWAN, across our ultra-reliable L-band satellite network and into the application. This offers you the granular insight you need, as well as auditing, alarm and note-based functionality. We also provide a service level agreement (SLA), so you can be confident all the necessary data is available wherever and whenever you need it.
