LiDAR | Solutions

Advanced light detection and ranging (LiDAR) land surveys offer numerous advantages over other techniques.

Laser scanning, a technology commonly known as LIDAR, offers a range of advantages over other surveying methods. It provides extremely precise control and visualisation through dense point clouds. With the advancement of drone technology, LiDAR enables laser pulses to penetrate dense vegetation, reaching the ground surface. This technology excels in terrain modelling, thrives in low-light conditions, and stands out as a superior alternative to photogrammetry. While photogrammetry can generate a reconstructed digital surface model (DSM), LiDAR alone can deliver accurate and survey-grade DSMs and digital terrain models (DSM).

Our integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with LiDAR empowers us to provide highly accurate terrestrial surveying, land surveying, and topographical mapping services. Laser scanning proves particularly advantageous for easement assessments and land surveying, as it offers the fastest and most cost-effective way to survey challenging terrain. We can deliver terrain data in various practical formats, including LAS/LAZ laser point clouds, 3D models, DXF/DWG vector files, ground contours, TIN, and more.the ground surface. This technology is ideal for terrain modelling, works perfectly in low-light conditions, and offers a distinct advantage over photogrammetry. While photogrammetry can deliver a reconstructed digital surface model (DSM), only LiDAR can deliver accurate and survey-grade DSMs and digital terrain models (DSM).

LiDAR | MINING

lidarmining

LiDAR technology is revolutionising mining operations, enhancing inspection, surveying, and mapping efficiency and safety.

In mining, LiDAR-equipped drones are employed to inspect mines after planned detonations, ensuring the safety of the area before sending in human workers. These drones also measure ore volumes and extraction spaces.

Underground mining environments render GPS operations impossible for drones, making LiDAR and visual sensors crucial for their operation without GPS.

BENEFITS OF LIDAR DRONES IN MINING

Increased ore extraction: 3D maps created using LiDAR data can identify potential remaining ore, leading to substantial additional revenue for mining companies.

Planning: LiDAR drones, in conjunction with ground-based scanners, can compare new surface data with previous scans to determine areas rich in resources or requiring targeted attention.

Safety: Mapping unstable areas allows for their evaluation for safety.

Savings: Improved understanding of crucial excavations in mines can lead to increased ore extraction and enhanced overall efficiency, resulting in substantial potential savings. excavations in a mine can lead to more ore extraction and greater efficiency overall, leading to huge potential savings.
