In view of the deterioration of geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions a well as the intensification of hard mineral mining, it becomes highly necessary to monitor complex natural-and-technical systems in order to ensure industrial and ecological safety. Automated wireless data collection systems can be applied in a wider field. Cable laying is practically impossible at dumps, dams and on landsliding slopes composed of coarse and block material. Wireless systems simplify intersection of roads, drain ditches and other natural and technical barriers. The experience of the remote wireless monitoring at the objects of tailings storage at Stoilensky Mining and Processing Plant proves its high efficiency. The interactive estimation of state of different objects allows adjusting conditions of the formation of dumps, hydraulic files and tailings ponds. The domestic and international practice of operation of mine-technical structures points at the necessity to estimate variation in properties of rocks in dump embankments and their foundations in time. The developed instrumentation for the integrated geological engineering survey provides higher accuracy of data recording and minimization of errors due to human factor. The further expansion of automated monitoring in the mining industry will enable reduction in off-normal situations owing to the prompt managerial decision-making and will ensure safety of the industry and the environment.
