SkyGeo to attend Slope Stability in Mining 2025 in Vancouver
SkyGeo will participate in the Fourth International Slope Stability in Mining Conference (SSIM 2025), held 27–29 October 2025 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, Canada. Hosted by the Australian Centre for Geomechanics, the event brings together geotechnical leaders to discuss the latest practice in open pit slope design, monitoring and risk management.

At SSIM 2025, SkyGeo will focus on how decision-grade InSAR ground-motion monitoring supports safer, more efficient management of slopes and tailings storage facilities (TSFs) in complex mining environments. Using satellite radar data, SkyGeo’s services reveal millimetre-scale deformation across an entire mine footprint, including TSFs, pit walls, waste dumps and infrastructure, providing early insight into where risk is increasing and where conditions remain stable.
For slope stability and TSF engineers, this wide-area perspective complements established ground-based systems. InSAR interpretation helps to prioritise field inspections, direct ground-based radar or drone surveys to the right locations, and build a consistent deformation history that can be compared against geotechnical models and sensor networks. The result is a monitoring framework that supports earlier interventions and more defensible decisions around geotechnical risk, regulatory compliance and mine-life planning.
SkyGeo’s mining specialists will be available throughout the conference to discuss current slope and TSF challenges, from legacy facilities and closure planning to active pit operations and expansion projects. Delegates who would like to arrange a meeting in advance can connect directly with SkyGeo team members Jason Pretorius, Jordan Herrmann or Lauren Kinney ahead of SSIM 2025.
