PUSHBACK 8 SOUTH – A CASE STUDY IN PIT SLOPE MANAGEMENT (2006)

This paper describes the geotechnical, structural and hydrogeological setting of PB8S, reconciliation between design and slope performance and the slope engineering techniques used to effectively manage the risks associated with the slope. These techniques include slope buttressing and sequential mining with waste backfilling, as well as a detailed program of displacement and hydrogeological monitoring, structural
mapping and slope stability assessment. During the course of slope formation recent
developments in remote slope displacement monitoring using radar and remote
structural mapping using terrestrial photogrammetry have also been applied.
