Natural hazard protection in open pit mines

Rockfalls, mudslides and unstable slopes are daily risks in mining. At the Kanmantoo Mine in Australia, in recent years, we have installed a variety of solutions for the protection of workers and infrastructure. Read about them in this newsletter.

Sincerely, Your Geobrugg Team

Kanmantoo - In addition to traditional, flexible rockfall barriers the steep walls of the mine require intensive rockfall mitigation including: anchored mesh slope stabilization, rockfall Attenuator solutions or rockfall drapes as summarized in short video and in the project report.

Wherever blasting, digging and cutting of slopes takes place, there is also the daily risk of rockfalls, landslides, and debris flows. Mine operators require safety measures that can be installed quickly and perform correctly. Our overview shows you protection measures in mines from all over the world.
