Tailings dam failures pose major safety and environmental risks. Monitoring soil moisture is one of the most effective ways to assess structural integrity, but traditional methods can be slow, costly, and limited in scale.

SkyFi analytics offers a satellite-based solution built for the mining industry.

Using SAR (synthetic aperture radar), the Tailings Dam Stability Analyzer captures subsurface moisture conditions without sensors or ground crews. From 390 miles above ground, it penetrates up to 10 feet below the surface and covers areas up to 1400 square miles in one pass.

This technology enables:

  • Repeatable, scalable assessments

  • Early detection of moisture changes

  • Reduced need for on-site instrumentation

  • Continuous monitoring over time

As climate volatility increases, this method supports mining operators in maintaining safety, meeting environmental standards, and avoiding infrastructure failure.
