Mining & Quarrying

Drone survey covers active pits, benches and dumps in hours instead of days, with nobody walking the face. Monthly volumetrics, slope monitoring and lease-boundary mapping become routine.

Sensors we fly for this work: RGB, LiDAR, Thermal.

What we map

  • Stockpile and dump volumetrics
  • Pit and bench profile mapping
  • Haul road grade and condition
  • Slope stability monitoring
  • Lease boundary and encroachment mapping
  • Reclamation and closure planning

What you receive

  • Point cloud
  • DTM and contours
  • Volume reports
  • Cross sections
  • Orthomosaic
  • Boundary overlays

Delivered in your coordinate system and in the formats your GIS or CAD team already uses.

How the project runs

  1. 1

    Scope

    We confirm the site, required accuracy, coordinate system and deliverables, and arrange flight permissions.

  2. 2

    Fly

    Platform and payload are matched to the terrain and output. Ground control is set with DGPS so every flight ties to the ground.

  3. 3

    Process

    Photogrammetry and LiDAR data are processed and checked against ground control before anything leaves our hands.

  4. 4

    Deliver

    Orthomosaics, DTMs, point clouds and GIS layers arrive in your formats, with support while your team puts them to work.
