Abstract Slope stability is one of the most important and delicate problems in civil engineering, particularly encountered in large and important projects such as dams, highways, tunnels and open cast mines. The basic purpose of slope stability analysis is to determine a factor of safety against a potential failure, or landslide. If this factor of safety determined is greater than 1, the slope is judged to be stable (safe) or else it is unsafe. Slope stability is a critical consideration in mining operations, as unstable slopes can pose significant safety risks to workers and can ultimately result in production delays or large-scale interruptions.
Monitoring of slopes and dumps in opencast mines in real-time and send out early warning signals to the stake holders is now given priority considering large scale mining around the world. Slope monitoring is the first step to prevent and predict the failure of a slope. In recent times, several technologies driven methods have been developed to predict the collapse of mining slopes by monitoring and analysing movement data. Slope monitoring systems have continuously developed over time, and when choosing a system, factors including coverage, mode of operation, incurred cost, installation, and maintenance of system are crucial. The SSR uses radar to remotely scan a rock slope, continuously measure movement of the face, detect and alert users of slope wall movements with sub-millimetre precision even during unfavourable condition viz. rain, dust or smoke. The present study focuses on modern day contemporary slope monitoring methods, especially the slope stability radar (SSR) system which monitors the slope movement in real time with millimetre level precision.
