Monitor Movement. Minimise Risk.

Precision Monitoring for Safer Highwalls

Thermal imaging provides a powerful, non-contact solution for highwall monitoring in open-pit mining.

By detecting subtle temperature variations across rock faces, thermal cameras can identify cracks, water ingress, or areas of stress before visible signs of failure occur.

This early warning capability enhances worker safety, reduces the risk of slope collapse, and supports continuous operation.

With real-time, high-resolution thermal data, mining teams can monitor structural integrity day or night, even in dusty or low-visibility conditions.
