Shannon & Wilson analyzed the slide and designed stable slope configurations, which included a rock toe buttress and toe drains.  After slope reconstruction, Shannon & Wilson installed an instrumentation system to monitor slope movement and groundwater conditions. The instruments included Time Domain Reflectometry cables (TDR), piezometers and GPS systems.

The instrumentation included solar-powered instrument loggers, which sent data via radio and the mine mesh network to on-site servers. Comprehensive software allowed collection, graphic display, and review of data via the internet whether on- or off-site. We also set triggers to send automatic e-mails to mine engineers, pit managers and security if instrument readings exceed predefined limits.
