An integrated mine monitoring system is helping Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation improve safety at copper /cobalt open pits in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The integrated laser scanner and monitoring software system, purchased from 3D Laser Mapping, will be used to monitor high wall stability helping to predict future wall movements. Comprising a RIEGL VZ-1000 laser scanner and SiteMonitor software the system will also be used to survey stockpiles and small pits delivering an additional return on investment achieved through a reduction in surveying man hours.
