WHY IT MATTERS
Mine Smarter. Map Deeper. Stay Safer.
Why mapping matters
Reduce cycle time by up to 60 minutes per shift
Capture post-blast scans in minutes, enabling faster re-entry and improved scheduling.
Enhance Reconciliation & Planning
Get accurate stope volumes, drift dimensions, and raise geometries to validate design vs. as-built conditions.
Minimize re-entry risks with remote scanning
Eliminate the need for personnel to enter unstable or unsupported areas by using remote scanning technology.
Data-Driven Decisions
Access precise, georeferenced outputs compatible with your mine planning software — from point clouds to DXF files.

Experts in 3D Mapping
Detailed Data Outputs That Drive Decisions
We map it all:
Our advanced scanning solutions map Alimak compartments with precision, allowing for remote assessment of structural conditions and ensuring lift operations remain safe and compliant.
Using mobile LiDAR mapping, we scan haulage ramps to analyze wall integrity, gradient changes, and clearance — improving maintenance planning and optimizing cycle times.
We perform detailed 3D mapping and LiDAR scanning of mine shafts to detect deformation, wear, or obstructions — reducing downtime, increasing safety, and eliminating the need for manual entry.
We use high-definition video and imaging to inspect hoist systems, enabling early detection of wear or misalignment without halting operations — minimizing risk to personnel and equipment.
Our handheld and drone solutions scan drifts for clearance issues, convergence, and potential hazards — providing real-time models that support safer navigation and development planning.
We deliver remote scanning and 3D modeling of stopes to monitor geometry, backfill conditions, and structural changes — ensuring safer stope management and better reconciliation data.

FAQ
Underground 3D Mapping
Stope mapping is the process of capturing the shape, volume, and structural details of mined-out areas (stopes) using LiDAR, photogrammetry, or drone-based scanning. It helps improve reconciliation, safety, and planning accuracy.
Drifts are mapped using handheld or drone-mounted LiDAR scanners that collect precise 3D data of tunnel cross-sections. This enables convergence monitoring, deformation analysis, and updated as-builts of the mine network.
Yes. Our systems are designed to scan vertical raises without needing physical entry. We use remote tools or tethered drone platforms to perform LiDAR scans from a safe distance, reducing risk and improving data reliability.
We deliver:
3D point clouds (.LAS, .E57)
Mesh models
DXF/DWG drawings
Volume calculations
Georeferenced maps
Web-based interactive viewers
These can be directly used in mine planning software.
Our systems provide up to 10 centimeter-level accuracy, depending on the environment and scan parameters. The high-resolution LiDAR captures fine surface details and delivers reliable measurements for reconciliation, blasting, and geotechnical analysis.
Drones allow mapping of hazardous, unstable, or freshly blasted areas without putting workers at risk. This enables remote inspections, minimizes exposure to unsupported ground, and reduces re-entry delays.
Typically, initial outputs are available within 1-2 minutes, depending on the complexity of the scan. We prioritize speed without compromising data quality — ideal for time-sensitive operations.
