Tailings Governance & Monitoring

Tailings Governance & Monitoring

Decipher’s Tailings Governance & Monitoring solution is trusted by Environmental, Tailings, Geotechnical and Management teams globally to help improve compliance, reporting, operational visibility and work towards zero-harm.

Our award winning cloud solution brings together data from IoT devices, radar, and remote sensing to serve your teams with up-to-date information to improve decision making and operational visibility.

The integrated nature of our solution means existing, current and future data can be put to use to help drive safety improvements in the most cost effective manner. This new approach replaces manual processes, disparate and siloed datasets, and outdated information with our secure cloud platform where you can monitor what is happening in your facilities from anywhere in the world, at any time. It has also been built to adhere to industry best practice and compliance requirements such as the Investor Mining and Tailings Safety Initiative, ICMM, Global Tailings Portal, PRI, and UNEP.

Preparing for the Investor Mining and Tailings Safety Initiative? See how we bring it all together into one simple solution which is helping leading mining companies globally.

One central hub

Decipher brings together a variety of tailings data in the one location which is otherwise managed by a number of teams in disparate systems. Easily visualise your GIS and operational data on the map.

The most comprehensive solution

No other solution on the market brings so many components of tailings and environmental monitoring and management together like Decipher. Our modules can be used individually or in conjunction with one another with extensive cross-functional benefits.

Enhance stakeholder relations and ESG

Highlight your company’s commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) as a company implementing the latest tools to support sustainability and a positive societal contribution.

Real-time data

Decipher collects real time earth observation data from a variety of sources including Satellite imagery (Landsat and Sentinel) so you can make informed decisions fast.

Better manage perceived risk

Ensuring the safety of communities around your tailings dam is crucial. Our built in tools ensure you can monitor real time data, receive alerts and maintain positive stakeholder relations to reduce risk to your company.

Tools to help improve safety

Operate with increased confidence knowing data is being collected and monitored with built in alerts where a potential hazard or breach is detected.

Improve compliance

Use Decipher to help comply with corporate and industry requirements and requests. Our simple to use tool has been used by industry for such requirements as the recent mine tailings closure with fields embedded for simple reporting.

Adhere to best practice

Meet the requirements of ICMM, Global Tailings Portal, PRI, UNEP, Church of England Pensions Board and the Council on Ethics of the Swedish National Pension Funds.
With an estimated 3,500 active tailings storage facilities (TSFs) across the globe covering approximately one million hectares of land, and an increasing number of failures occurring and being recorded, it’s clear that a fresh look at the reporting and monitoring of these facilities is needed. Tailings dam failures constitute a massive risk for the industry, regulators, facility designers and Engineer’s of Record (EoR), community, environment, and lastly, for operators; posing a significant risk to their safety. Now more than ever, the monitoring of these facilities and the reporting of dam safety is critical for corporate social responsibility. Decipher is designed to provide you with key data and insights, enabling you to effectively monitor your TSF and your environmental obligations and compliance. Our solution can be securely accessed by industry, regulators, designers and operators involved in the management of TSFs. Decipher offers a comprehensive and functionally rich solution which combines regulatory (Compliance Management Software), mining waste management, stakeholder engagement, environmental monitoring, and environmental management system (EMS) tools to assist with tailings management.

“The Decipher product had a number of features that we were looking for already available through their existing modules. On top of this, the Decipher team showed a keen willingness to work through all of our requirements and develop the additional features we needed. A fully functional MVP based on a subset of Decipher modules was provided within the project timeframe.”
