Mining Survey

Optimize stockpile measurements and pit modeling processes with a safer, faster, and more accurate data collection alternative compared to traditional surveying methods

Comprehensive mining survey solutions providing safer data collection methods, improved efficiency, and accurate measurements for mining operations, stockpile management, and pit modeling processes.

Advantages

Enhanced Personnel Safety

Swiftly cover vast and hazardous areas, significantly streamlining data collection process and enhancing personnel safety, addressing mining survey environments that are often remote and fraught with safety risks that threaten personnel safety.

Cost Reduction and Improved Efficiency

Reduce cost and improve efficiency with easy-to-deploy aerial data collection solutions, replacing traditional ground-based survey methods that are costly, timely, and inefficient for mining operations.

Data Quality and Accuracy Assurance

Repeat data collection missions ensuring the data quality and accuracy, eliminating challenges in ensuring data quality through traditional methods that can be inconsistent and unreliable.

Applications

Stockpile Management

Monitor and calculate stockpile volumes for inventory management with accurate measurements and regular monitoring capabilities.

Environmental Monitoring

Monitor environmental impact and compliance with regulations using comprehensive aerial data collection and analysis.

Slope Stability

Monitor slope stability and identify potential geological hazards with accurate pit modeling and safety assessments.

Solution Features

Comprehensive drone-based solutions designed for geospatial operations.

Portable Stockpile Measurement Solution

The DJI Mavic 3E is a portable surveying and mapping drone suitable for single-pilot operations. Paired with DJI Terra, it can generate accurate 2D and 3D models with significant reduction on the ground control points.

  • Portable solution, easy to operate and to carry across multiple mine sites
  • Reliability and high accuracy even when flying at high altitudes
  • The Real-Time Terrain Following mode allows the Mavic 3E to adjust its altitude in real time, ensuring a consistent height relative to the terrain being mapped
  • Optimized for mining environments and stockpile measurement applications
  • Significant reduction in ground control points for efficient mining surveys
  • Enhanced safety for personnel in hazardous mining environments

Workflow

1
Mining Site Data Collection

Plan a 2D map mission for regular orthomosaic data acquisition or a waypoint mission for regular site video recording and pano stitching optimized for mining terrain and stockpile areas.

2
Mining Data Processing

Import the data to DJI Terra to process for DOM, DSM, Point Cloud, and 3D model outputs optimized for mining analysis and volume calculations.

3
Mining Analysis and Measurements

Perform annotations, measurements and volume analysis directly in DJI Terra. Import resulting DOM, DSM or 3D models into your preferred 3rd Party software for further mining-specific analysis.

4
Mining Operations Reporting

Generate comprehensive mining reports including stockpile volumes, terrain analysis, and safety assessments for operational planning and regulatory compliance.
