Illegal Mining Monitoring

Watching the Wall: Why Tailings Storage Facility Monitoring Can’t Be an Afterthought

Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) are among the most critical, and potentially dangerous, structures in mining. With several major disasters in recent history, mine owners must prioritise TSF monitoring to protect lives, land, and operations. In this post, Swift Geospatial explores how satellite technology provides a smarter, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional aerial flyovers, delivering early warnings and consistent data, no matter how remote the site.
