Course Overview

Slope Performance Monitoring 

The Slope Performance Monitoring online professional development course, based on the the Large Open Pit Project's Guidelines for Slope Performance Monitoring, provides an in-depth exploration of slope performance monitoring. The course covers a wide range of monitoring techniques, including surface movement detection, displacement monitoring, subsurface deformation monitoring, water monitoring, and geophysical monitoring. Emphasis is placed on selecting appropriate technologies, designing integrated monitoring systems, and ensuring reliable data acquisition and long-term operational support.

Participants will explore best practices for data management, analysis, and visualization, with a focus on turning monitoring data into actionable insights. Real-world case studies illustrate common slope monitoring challenges, lessons learned, and effective communication of monitoring results to technical and operational teams. This course is ideal for professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of slope performance monitoring systems and improve the use of monitoring data to enhance slope safety and operational performance.
