ADVANTAGES OF DRONES IN MINING

USES FOR DRONES IN MINING

INCREASED ACCURACY - By utilizing drone based photogrammetry, a dynamic view is captured that is unavailable by conventional surveys or terrestrial scanning, resulting in unparalleled accuracy. 
INCREASED SAFETY - Aerial surveys eliminate the need to expose surveyors to the hazards of leaching solutions,  operating machinery and uneven terrain. All data capture is performed without any interruption of site operations

TIME SAVING - Flight missions capture more data in hours than survey crews can gather in days
COST EFFICIENT - Improved efficiency in data acquisition and processing allows 3D MAPPERS to transfer the increased value to the client
3D MODELS OF PITS AND QUARRIES -  compatible with popular Mining Softwares and AutoCAD Civil 3D 
DRILL AND BLAST PATTERN STAKING
3D SURFACE MODELS WITH CONTOURS
STOCKPILE INVENTORY QUANTITIES
HEAP LEACH PAD VOLUMES
TOPOGRAPHIC  MAPPING
DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS
QUARTERLY SITE  MAPPING  
PIT EXCAVATION VOLUME COMPARISONS

MSHA TRAINED PERSONNEL - Our FAA Licensed Pilots are MSHA trained as Experienced Miners and are not required to be escorted while on site by Federal Regulations.
Mine Site Management Optimization - Plan future conveyor networks, plan stockpile placements, analyze traffic patterns and visualize future road designs.
DATA SHARING - The imagery and associated data can be shared electronically with Management, Engineering Departments, Mine Planning , Production and  Safety Compliance Personnel
INFORMATION ARCHIVE - Each flight produces a record in time of the site conditions for later analysis.
