How OHMS uses remote laser scanned discontinuity data for key block analysis

Laser scanning on rock slopes at the Pilanesberg Platinum mine revealed that the orientation of the wall relative to discontinuity sets yielded incomplete structural data, leading to potentially biased discontinuity mapping. This presentation shows how the orientation bias was identified and resolved, to ensure that the structural database was complete and effective in identifying and quantifying the slope stability hazard.
