Mining

Network Mapping has bespoke solutions for the mining industry using both aerial LiDAR and terrestrial LiDAR technology.

New mine infrastructure & extraction projects

Network Mapping has acquired topographic datasets in heavily forested and remote regions across the globe for the purpose of aligning infrastructure for new extraction projects. Previous project locations include glacial foreland in Greenland and the rainforests of South America.

Topographic models (even below forested areas)

Route appraisal

Remote examination and analysis

Horizontal and vertical route alignment of new infrastructure

Estimations of overburden for a given site

 

Low-cost fixed wing surveys of operational open-pit mines and quarries

Volumetric analysis of piles for stockpile calculation, payment of crushing contractors etc

Drainage analysis

 

Terrestrial scanning of mining assets

Our terrestrial scanning equipment can be used to produce detailed as-built 3D models of existing mining assets, such as mine head structures.
