ABSTRACT

In the area of LGOM, and in particular on the border of the direct influence of exploitation and beyond, there are many reports of damage to the construction objects while its connection with mining activities is quite doubtful. In these regions there are usually no surveying points to provide information on real influence of mining exploitation. In case of rejecting the claims as not related to mining a problem is solved in the court. The only possibility to obtain the information on area deformations that would be reliable for the court is to use the pair of radar images covering the time of the manifestation of damage. The accuracy of this determination by InSAR method was confirmed by the survey conducted in LGOM and turned out to be fully satisfactory. The applied so far way of solving judicial problems by expensive expertises and opinions of judicial experts has intensively consumed both time resources of KGHM staff and finances of the company, moreover it has not always been fully objective.
