Proactive Shaft Management - 3D LiDAR Models

Proactive Shaft Reliability Through Decision Ready 3D LiDAR

Transform shaft management with high-resolution three-dimensional models that reduce risk, accelerate data collection, and provide a clear path to traceable maintenance.

Moving Beyond Reactive Maintenance and High-Risk Inspections.

Traditional shaft inspections often rely on manual, visual checks that put personnel at risk and leave significant gaps in asset history. When data is delayed or incomplete, subtle guide misalignments and structural changes go undetected until they cause operational disruption.

After

A Traceable Path from Capture to Actionable Intelligence.

Scanner capturing high density spatial data inside an underground mine shaft during inspection

Step 1:

Rapid Capture

Deploy the SafeScanner payload to capture full-shaft geometry and video with minimal downtime.

Software processing shaft scan data with automated slicing, measurements, and comparative analysis

Step 2:

Automated Analysis

Our system identifies anomalies at 4.5-meter intervals and flags measurements exceeding your site-defined tolerance limits.

Step 3:

Actionable Results

Receive a comprehensive measurement report and CAD-ready files within 24 to 48 hours of capture.

Millimetre-Level Detail You Can Measure.

· Face-to-face guide width and depth.
· Bunting and divider spacing.
· Millimetre-level guide alignment analysis.

View the shaft as a whole or isolate individual segments to identify broader trends.

Ready to Start Your Proactive Shaft Management Program?

Connect with our team to request a site-specific workflow review or an Impact Brief.

Every mine is different. We start by understanding your workflows, constraints, and objectives, then align the right capture and processing tools to your operation.

1. Discovery first
We learn how your site operates, where data gaps exist, and what decisions the data needs to support.

2. Scoped solution alignment
Based on access, environment, and outcomes, we recommend the capture bundles and software that fit your mine, not a fixed package.

3. Clear path forward
If a pilot makes sense, we define scope, success metrics, and next steps together before any commitment.
