Monitoring landfill stability is critical in mining operations to prevent failures that could have significant environmental and safety implications. Site characterization is a comprehensive approach to monitoring landfill stability in order to conduct detailed geological assessments to understand the composition, structure, and physical properties of the tailing material, to perform laboratory tests to assess the engineering properties, all these correlated with geodetic repeated measurements. Techniques and instruments used in geodetic monitoring are chosen depending on the type of surveyed displacement and level of accuracy required. Photogrammetric and remote sensing technologies play an essential role in the detection and monitoring displacements and deformations, providing crucial support in the rapid and effective management of these emergencies. These techniques allow for large-scale, continuous monitoring of slope movements without requiring direct contact with the slope. This way, it ensures precise deformation monitoring, validates theoretical models, enhances predictive capabilities, and supports safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection efforts. A well-designed monitoring system not only ensures compliance with environmental regulations but also provides valuable insights for designing effective mitigation and rehabilitation strategies.
