REVEAL™

for Geotech

High-resolution 3D imaging to identify and monitor low-density structures, voids, and geotechnical instability drivers.

Let’s connect

Assess geotechnical hazards early, improving the safety of workers, equipment, and infrastructure.

Characterize poorly delineated voids and legacy backfilled zones with precision, quickly and non-invasively.

Reduce operational disruptions and accelerate mine planning with reduced geotechnical uncertainty.

Create visibility. Optimize productivity. Safer.

  • “One of our goals for the deployment of muon tomography at Creighton was to accurately identify subsurface voids and rubble zones around the active mine site to help aid in geotechnical de-risking. The outcomes validated our existing data and enhanced our knowledge meaningfully.”

Case studies in geotech

Ideon reduces geotechnical uncertainty, giving you confidence to operate safely.

Ideon has demonstrated how mapping unknown voids with confidence can allow mining to resume and liberate more than $250M of minerals previously rendered inaccessible on one site due to ground stability uncertainty.

We identify and map subsurface voids, understand water flow in mine, inform slope instability and geotechnical risk assessments, and keep your people and equipment safe as you get critical metals to market.

Gain an unmatched understanding of the geotechnical environment, de-risking operations and unlocking economic value:

Reduce the time and costs to understand by >80%

Quickly build a macro view the geotechnical environment, identifying potential hazards faster and with precision. Focus drilling activity on validation and mitigation rather than hazard discovery.

Unlock millions in value

Identifying geotechnical risks early reduces the likelihood of unplanned shutdowns and schedule disruptions, and

High-resolution geotech insights can inform mine planning, extend life of mine, and inform re-mining efforts.

Geotechnical data describes the condition of the ground through which a mining operation will pass. Geotechnical hazards can include voids, subsidence zones and sinkholes, collapsed workings, and unstable slopes, etc. Accurate geotechnical data is critical to informing decisions about mining methods and mine plan development.

Geological uncertainty increases risk, prevents access, forces delays.

Insufficient or uncertain geotechnical data can lead you to incorrect assumptions in the mine design and planning process. Without accurate insights, you may find yourself drilling your way through a target zone without knowing what you might encounter. This can result in undue risk to the safety of mine operators, and delay projects for years. It can also restrict access to certain mine zones or re-entry into historic properties that are not well documented, preventing recovery of valuable resources. The financial implications of inaccurate information or incorrect assumptions can be enormous, requiring additional capital expenditure, mine re-design, mining method changes, or lengthy production delays – in some cases causing the closure of a project.
