A 3D tailings dam visualization early warning system was developed based on GIS (geographic information system) combining ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average model) and 3S (RS, GIS, GPS) technology for prediction of phreatic line changes and tailing dam deformation. It was applied for monitoring and early warning for the gold–copper tailing dam in Zijinshan Dadongbei tailing pond. The system consists of equipment management, data management, prediction, monitoring and early warning, and 3D visualization modules. It is able to do data management, visualization and disaster prediction, and early warning based on 79 monitoring points of rainfall, infiltration line, and deformation of the tailing dam in the Zijinshan mine. The design and application of the system reflect its features of rich functionality, high practicality, intuitive effect, and high reference value. The system solves the problems of low visualization of monitoring data, poor management of multiple data, and feasible prediction and early warning of point–surface combination. It realizes high-precision prediction of key factors and real-time warning of disaster.
