Mining - Cambio Earth

Earth sciences play a critical role in reducing delays, tracking compliance, and monitoring performance.

Tailings storage facilities (TSF), mine infrastructure, and access roads generate mountains of data—baseline studies, inspections, instrumentation, remote sensing, and routine reports. As this knowledgebase grows, from prefeasibility to closure, so does the pressure to catch performance trends early, monitor construction progress, and demonstrate compliance across multiple sites and evolving standards like GISTM.

COMMON CHALLENGES

Vast amounts of underutilized data scattered across disconnected systems, contractors, and consultants.

Evolving regulatory requirements (e.g. GISTM) demanding greater transparency and documentation.

Delays in decision making caused by slow issue verification and field-to-office communication.

Maintaining program continuity through staff, EoR, or contractor changes.

Cambio™ provides measurability for program effectiveness and operational efficiency

Are you tracking and verifying potential issues early enough to prevent costly delays?

Are your TARPs consistent across sites and teams?

Can you prove adherence to standards across every facility and site?

Did you place the right material, in the right location, and to specification and design intent?

What happens if your key people leave—or you change vendors, contracts or consultants?

We take away the guesswork
