Interactive three-dimensional management of data from technological control of stacks and dams – case study
Innovations in geotechnics in the mining field have been constant, aiming to evolve construction techniques and the management of the generated information throughout the work. In order to provide a practical, fast and efficient methodology for data management of stacks and dams, it was developed the first interactive 3D model focused at the technological control of these structures. Geotechnical constructions are dynamic and complex, in addition, they are large constructions, new layers are compacted every day and several tests are carried out, which must be in accordance with the norms and technical specifications of the project. In this way, the importance of the possibility of critical analysis in real time is evident, making it able to avoid future problems. By integrating the project implemented with the Cesium geospatial model platform into the Geolabor, geotechnical data management system, a complete three-dimensional view is generated, which associates geometry with information. The 3D model is updated in real time, automatically and without the need for any programming or modeling skills from the user. The geometry of the as-built model is associated with the information that is registered in Geolabor throughout the construction, allowing the visualization in scales of colors of the evolution of the work, of the samples, tests and their respective geotechnical parameters and the compliance with the project technical specifications. This article presents a case study carried out in a waste and tailings stacks of the mining company Samarco, presenting the practical advantages of using the 3D model integrated to Geolabor.
