Why Digital Mine Shaft Inspection Matters?

Outdated shaft inspections pose real risks—both to safety and operations.
SafeSight’s digital-first inspection and measurement approach delivers high-fidelity scans, structural insights, and millimetre-accurate data—without ever stepping foot into the shaft.

Problems We Solve:

Dangerous Manual Inspections

Reduce the need for worker entry and eliminate live shaft exposure using remote LiDAR-based scanning.

Lack of Structural Data

Traditional visual checks fall short. Our 3D models (PTS/PTX), DXF files, and 360° video capture comprehensive structural intelligence.

Difficulty in Accessing Deep or Unstable Shafts

Even in challenging or unstable conditions, our automated inspection tech collects full datasets safely and efficiently.

Compliance Documentation Challenges

From CAD-ready measurements to traceable videos and findings summaries, our reporting supports regulatory compliance and maintenance planning.

FAQ

Know More About our Shaft Mapping Solution 

Mine shaft inspection involves evaluating the structural condition and safety of a vertical shaft using advanced technologies like LiDAR, 3D scanning, and video documentation. It’s essential for detecting wear, misalignment, and potential failure points to ensure safe operations and regulatory compliance.

We use remote technologies including LiDAR-based scanning, photogrammetry, and 360° video to collect precise shaft data without sending workers underground. This method enables digital mine shaft inspection with millimetre accuracy, reducing live work and increasing safety.

Mine shaft mapping uses automated scanning tools to create a full 3D digital model of the shaft. This includes geometric data, alignment, and measurements of buntons, guides, and dividers. The result is a shaft map that supports maintenance, safety audits, and engineering design.

Our inspections use a combination of LiDAR scanners, photogrammetry, and real-time sensors. This suite enables automated shaft mapping, remote shaft surveillance, and high-resolution 3D model generation for structural tracking and planning.

SafeSight provides shaft 3D models in PTS and PTX formats, along with DXF CAD files, 360° video footage, and a findings summary table to support actionable work orders. All data is structured for use in engineering workflows.

Yes. Our shaft scanning technologies are designed for remote access, making it possible to inspect legacy or inaccessible shafts safely. This includes shafts that are deep, unstable, or previously deemed too dangerous for manual inspection.

Yes. Our shaft scanning technologies are designed for remote access, making it possible to inspect legacy or inaccessible shafts safely. This includes shafts that are deep, unstable, or previously deemed too dangerous for manual inspection.

Our LiDAR-based shaft measurement delivers millimetre-level accuracy across structural components, including guide alignment, buntons, dividers, and shaft depth. This high level of precision is key to proactive maintenance and structural monitoring.

3D shaft models improve visualization, help detect deformations early, and support digital trend analysis. They also simplify compliance by providing a clear, interactive record of shaft conditions over time.

Inspection frequency depends on shaft activity and regulatory requirements. However, with SafeSight’s fast, remote-enabled scans, clients often increase inspection intervals to quarterly or even monthly—boosting safety and operational insight.

Absolutely. Our digital shaft inspection reports are time-stamped, standardized, and include all supporting visuals (video, DXF, CAD). They align with mining safety regulations and help streamline audit documentation and work order definition.
