Abstract: Ground penetrating synthetic aperture radars are currently used worldwide as an advanced tool both for monitoring wall stability in areas of high deformation risks and for general monitoring of walls to identify hazardous areas. The success of this technology is primarily based on the capability of radars to perform real-time monitoring of vast areas with submillimeter accuracy in almost all weather conditions. Ground-based radar technologies are relatively new (as compared to traditional monitoring methods), but have already proven to be very efficient in controlling the stability of open pit walls, their sections and benches. Georadars are not yet as actively used in Russia as in other countries, but the number of companies that employ interferometric radars is increasing from year to year. The paper provides some examples of international and domestic experience in using the GPR systems. The main focus is given to the experience of the IBIS-FM GPR testing while monitoring the open pit wall where construction of a crushing and conveyor complex is done on the territory of PAO Mikhailovsky GOK. The radar testing conditions are briefly described, and the main advantages and disadvantages of using this technology in such conditions are indicated.
Keywords: ground-based radar interferometry, monitoring of open pit wall stability, IBIS FM ground penetrating radar, Mikhailovsky mining and processing complex (GOK), crushing and conveyor complex
