Martabe Gold Mine Agincourt Resources

Project
Overview

About This Project

Background

Extensometer Agincourt Resources is used to support ground movement monitoring in a mining area that needs faster control. According to the official PT Agincourt Resources profile, the company operates the Martabe Gold Mine in South Tapanuli, North Sumatra, with a focus on safe and sustainable operations. In a mine environment, slope stability monitoring matters because ground movement can start before a landslide becomes visible.

In this implementation, Fortuna Argatech’s Extensometer was used as a field aid to detect slope movement earlier. That helps the team spot early warning signs before the condition gets worse.

Implementation Goal

The goal of this implementation is to help the field team monitor ground movement faster and more clearly. It also supports landslide risk mitigation, gives an earlier basis for decision-making, and improves operational preparedness in the work area.

Location & Scope

The source shows a link to PT Agincourt Resources and the Martabe site in South Tapanuli, North Sumatra. However, the exact installation point, coordinates, and technical scope were not fully stated in the screenshot, so those details still need verification.

Installed System

Based on the purchase order screenshot, the system includes:

  • ARGATECH Extensometer V4.0 Kit
  • 1 main unit
  • 3 displacement sensors
  • 1 alarm warning device
  • 3 additional displacement sensors

According to the Extensometer product page, the device is used to detect ground movement and monitor slope stability. Argatech also describes the product as supporting real-time monitoring with 1 mm resolution, a 1000 m range, and a self-powered solar setup. Those figures come from the general product page, so they should still be cited if used in a final publication.

Implementation Process

  1. The team received the monitoring requirement from the client.
  2. The system specification was confirmed through the purchase order.
  3. The main device and sensors were prepared based on the ordered items.
  4. The system was installed to read ground movement in the monitored area.
  5. The alarm warning device was prepared so the team could receive an early signal when conditions changed.
  6. After installation, monitoring data could be used for field evaluation and paired with EWS Longsor procedures.

Results / Benefits

This implementation helps the operational team read slope changes earlier. As a result, the team can prepare inspection and response steps before the risk grows further. It also supports a safer, more structured, and more responsive approach to dynamic field conditions.

Closing / Call to Action

If you need ground movement monitoring or an early warning solution for a landslide-prone area, Fortuna Argatech can tailor the device setup and implementation scope to your site needs.
