SENSOR DDS® for the Mining Industry

SENSOR DDS® geo-electrical leak monitoring systems have been successfully deployed in various mining industry applications on both sides of the Atlantic:

Leach pads
Storm ponds
Process ponds
Pregnant ponds
Tailings dams
Distribution channels
Leachate lagoons

Global Leader Since

Statistically, there is a 96.7% probability that liner damage will occur during or immediately after installation, resulting in leakage into the subgrade, based on a sample of 20,000,000 m². In the mining industry, this can mean the loss of valuable extracted product through liner damage, with potential losses of up to USD 500,000 per hectare per year. To help prevent this, the integrity of the waterproofing liner is tested before and after it is covered, as well as throughout its entire service life, ensuring maximum protection of the investment.

Another major advantage is that the environmental benefits of these tests can support the process of obtaining operating permits. Monitoring liner integrity provides clear evidence to authorities that your mining operation is not placing unnecessary pressure on the environment.
