Internal 4D monitoring of heap leach pads.
Heap Imaging & Irrigation Intelligence turns field measurements into a spatial and temporal reading of the inside of the heap.
What operations, metallurgy and engineering see.
3D volume
Spatial distribution of wet zones, dry zones and transitions.
Integrated dashboard
Indicators, controls and 3D view on one screen, with time navigation.
Tomography-style sections
Suggested critical section and manual navigation along the heap.
Operational analysis
Indicators, severity and detected phenomena.
Thermal surface
Temperature at depth by level and sector.
Thermal dashboard
Temperature tracking over time, standalone or integrated with the hydraulic layer.
Platform views with demonstration data.
What it helps identify.
Deep dry zones
Sectors with little evidence of effective irrigation.
Dry pockets
Localized volumes disconnected from the wetting front.
Localized over-irrigation
Moisture accumulation that needs review.
Preferential channelling
Dominant paths along which the solution flows.
Wetting fronts
Irrigation progress in space and time.
Internal thermal condition
Temperature gradients and evolution at depth.
From the operational case to the scale-up decision.
Case definition
Process, heap or sector, objectives and operating constraints.
Design and installation
Instrumented coverage, field equipment and communications.
Monitoring and analysis
Online tracking, dashboard and technical reports.
Evaluation and scale-up
Results, operational value and next steps.
