Our drone-based data collection service can also boost productivity; mine surveying projects that once took days or weeks using traditional surveying techniques are now possible in just a few hours. Plus, thanks to our drone’s ability to collect data from above, there is no downtime required while surveyors move around a pit, as can be the case when using terrestrial surveying instruments.
With fewer man hours required to produce large, accurate data sets, and no need for externally-sourced imagery, the result is vastly reduced costs.
We are offering the following benefits for using our solution:
- Pit & dump management
- Communication of daily/weekly mining plans
- Haul route surface optimization
- Storm damage assessment & control
- Haul road, dump and pit design
- Geotechnical
- Surface stability monitoring
- Joint mapping
- Control for mining in void areas
- Mapping of steep inaccessible inclines
- Drainage and water management
- Watershed, drainage basin & water flow mapping
- Thermal detection of ground water inflows
