Master Advanced Open Pit Slope Stability Workflows
Improve confidence in your slope stability assessments with a practical, data-driven approach to integrating monitoring data, groundwater conditions, and 3D numerical modeling.
Wednesday, July 15, 2026 10:00 – 11:00 AM CDT
Webinar Overview
As mines collect increasing volumes of geotechnical and hydrogeological data, engineering teams face the challenge of turning that information into reliable predictions and actionable insights. In this webinar, Dr. Navid Bahrani of ITASCA North America will demonstrate a proven workflow for incorporating real-world monitoring data into calibrated rock mass simulations. Attendees will learn how this approach helps reduce uncertainty, improve model accuracy and reliability, and support safer, more informed operational decision-making.
What You Will Learn:
- Integrate Multiple Data Sources into a Unified Workflow – Learn how to bring together prism monitoring, radar deformation data, and groundwater measurements within a single 3D environment, creating a more complete picture of slope performance.
- Build More Reliable and Defensible Models – Discover how monitoring data can be used to calibrate geological structure parameters and improve alignment between model predictions and observed slope behavior.
- Understand the Impact of Groundwater on Slope Performance – See how varying pore pressure conditions influence effective stress, deformation, and overall slope stability, helping teams better evaluate potential risk scenarios.
- Improve Data Quality and Reduce Modeling Uncertainty – Learn practical techniques for identifying and correcting data issues before analysis, increasing confidence in model outputs and engineering recommendations.
- Streamline Project Setup and Data Management – Explore methods for organizing large geotechnical datasets and establishing consistent project workflows that improve efficiency and reduce time spent on model preparation.
What to Expect:
- Expert-Led Technical Presentation – Dr. Navid Bahrani, Senior Geomechanics Engineer at ITASCA North America, will walk through a complete workflow for calibrating slope stability models using field monitoring and hydrogeological data.
- Live Software Demonstrations – See how data from multiple sources can be processed, converted, and prepared for use in FLAC3D and IMAT to support efficient large-scale analysis.
- Real-World Engineering Workflows – Learn practical approaches for evaluating deformation patterns, distinguishing meaningful movement from monitoring noise, and identifying areas that require further investigation.
- Advanced Model Validation Techniques – Observe how visualization and cutting-plane analysis can help validate subsurface conditions, assess groundwater assumptions, and improve confidence in modeling results.
- Interactive Q&A Session – Bring your questions and discuss real-world open-pit slope stability challenges with ITASCA’s technical experts.
