Mining Mapping & Site Intelligence

Frequent aerial mapping and 3D spatial data can improve visibility across active sites, support quantity and progress review, document changing terrain, and provide a shared visual record for operational teams.

Applications

Site and terrain mapping
Stockpile and earthwork documentation
Progress and change monitoring
Haul-road and operational-area visualization
Rehabilitation and environmental context

Potential deliverables

Orthomosaics and point clouds
Digital surface and terrain models
Contours and mapped site features
3D site visualization
Volume and change-analysis outputs

Fit-for-purpose measurement

Survey design, control, surface visibility, material geometry, coordinate system, and accuracy requirements are established before capture. Results are reported with an appropriate statement of scope and limitations.

From active site to usable spatial record

1. DefineConfirm site priorities, operational constraints, accuracy needs, outputs, and reporting frequency.

2. CoordinatePlan safe acquisition around site access, active work areas, and production schedules.

3. ProcessGenerate mapped imagery, surfaces, point clouds, models, and requested measurements.

4. CompareOrganize repeat datasets to support progress review and clear communication over time.

Drones in the mining industry

This film presents TO3D’s vision for using drone technology in mining, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and limiting workers’ exposure to hazardous conditions. It introduces the thinking behind gathering site information remotely and using spatial data to support a more informed approach to mine-site planning and monitoring.
