The Slope Performance Monitoring online professional development course, based on the the Large Open Pit Project's Guidelines for Slope Performance Monitoring text, 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.
Topics covered:
- Movement Detection
- Displacement Monitoring
- Subsurface Deformation Monitoring
- Water Monitoring
- Geophysical Monitoring
- Slope Monitoring Case Studies
- System Design, Support, and Operations
- Data Acquisition and Management
- Data Analysis, Utilization, and Communication
This online, asynchronous, self-paced course is designed for learning on your schedule. Course content is available for one year from the course launch date. Upon completion of course requirements a professional development certificate for 20 hours will be provided.
