HighWall Monitoring

ESDH’s highwall monitoring solution delivers continuous, real-time insight into wall stability across open-pit mines and quarries.

Using advanced laser scanning and thermal imaging technologies, it detects movement, fractures, and potential failure zones before they become critical.

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.
