Abstract

A presentation on approaches to assess groundwater pressure responses to open cut and underground mining for depressurisation and dewatering.

The presentation will outline some of the recent initiatives in pore pressure monitoring system installation and management for open-cut mining. Specific examples will be provided showing direct cost savings realised from better understanding of mine slope pore pressures.

About the presenter

Stan Blanks is a geoscientist (University of Melbourne 1992) and co director of Pando Australia and Fluid Potential. He has over 25 year experience working as a hydrogeologist and geomechanist, working directly and as a consultant for most of the major, and many of the smaller mining companies across Australia. With an increasing focus on the importance of water management, Stan and Shane Wright developed and commercialised a number of tools and systems to improve installation, data collection and analysis of pore pressure data.
