Risk Management in Open Pit Mining: Ground Control Management Plans and Practical Applications

Wednesday September 24, 2025 Risk Management in Open Pit Mining: Ground Control Management Plans and Practical Applications Abstract: Risk Management in Open Pit Mining requires more than theory, it needs clear, practical tools. This presentation explores how Ground Control Management Plans can be applied effectively in daily operations, reducing risks and improving safety. Learn proven approaches that bridge technical planning with real-world mining practice. Bio: Marco specializes in geotechnical risk management and the mechanical behavior of granular media, focusing on understanding and predicting waste dump flow-slide mobility. He combines practical field-based tools with advanced 3D modelling techniques to proactively manage geotechnical hazards in active open-pit mining operations, enhancing safety and operational performance.
