Water in Mine Operations and Slope Stability
Controlling water in mining operations and improving geotechnical slope stability, including case studies of water management challenges. Course begins June 10, 2025!
This 15-week professional development course was developed in collaboration with Piteau Associates. Course content is based on the Large Open Pit Project's Guidelines for Evaluating Water in Pit Slope Stability text, with additional and updated material for controlling water in mining operations and improving geotechnical slope stability. Case studies on water management challenges and solutions in open pit and underground mines are also included.
Topics covered:
- Framework and site characterization
- Development of a conceptual hydrogeological model
- Implementation of mine water control systems
- Numerical model applications
- Monitoring and design reconciliation
- Open pit and underground water management
This 15-week course features live Q&A webinars with expert panelists, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with presenters through webinars, the course discussion board, or email. Course materials will remain accessible until June 2026.
