Tailings Dam Online Monitoring System

A national-standard, fully automated monitoring and early-warning system for tailings facilities — deformation, phreatic line, water level, rainfall and dry beach length.

Why Tailings Dam Monitoring Matters

Tailings facilities are major sources of industrial risk — dam failure threatens lives, property and the environment.

Chinese tailings dams have seen repeated catastrophic failures, posing severe threats to public safety and the environment. Regulators therefore require online safety monitoring of tailings facilities. An automated system removes the need for frequent manual inspections, giving operators a remote, real-time view of dam condition.

What We Monitor

The key indicators required by national tailings safety regulation.

⬇️

Dam Deformation

High-precision GNSS displacement monitoring tracks horizontal and vertical movement of the dam body in real time.

💧

Phreatic Line

Vibrating-wire piezometers monitor the infiltration line (pore water pressure) — a critical indicator of dam stability.

🌊

Reservoir Level

Radar level sensors track the tailings reservoir water level continuously.

🌧️

Rainfall

Automatic rain gauges feed rainfall data into the early-warning model.

📏

Dry Beach Length

Optional monitoring of dry beach length to assess safe deposition risk.

⚠️

Graded Early Warning

Multi-level threshold alarms via platform, SMS and on-site warning.
