New Method Aims to Improve Coal Waste Dam Safety
The U S Bureau of Mines, with CH2M Hill, proposes a computer aided aerial photo method to detect instability in coal waste dams. Planners would place reference targets on embankments, photograph from three low altitude perspectives, and analyze images with computers to spot tiny cracks and movements early. The approach aims to supplement ground checks, provide historical change data, and may apply to tailings dams and landslides though initial costs are higher than visual inspections.
