Abstract
Dumps of mining enterprises constitute the maximum part of man-made soil massifs. Their volume is calculated in billions of tons. Dumps change the terrain, characteristics of surface and underground runoff, affect geomechanical conditions (load the base) and accumulate a level of moisture, because the ratio of emptiness -mineral particles are much superior to soils of natural composition. Because of neustoichivosti and/or water saturation of the tailings subject to the processes of opolznevoye. The existing methods of UCP prevention are insufficient and reduced to geodetic observations of slope deformations and drilling of hydroge5ological wells for pumping excess moisture from the dump mass. A method is required that combines relatively low cost, high performance, continuity of study, the ability of nondestructive testing, the lack of mechanical action on the walls of quarries and the slopes of the blade, as well as the opportunity to work without interruptions of mining machinery and mining equipment. Together, geophysical methods or, more precisely, electrical exploration meet these criteria. Geoelectric prospecting effectively and quickly highlights the danger zones.
