Underground Survey & Mapping

Stope Volume, Cavity Monitoring & Tunnel Excavation

Keep your personnel safe from rockfall, unstable ground, and poor air quality. Our SLAM-based LiDAR and specially designed underground drones capture accurate 3D data in GPS-denied environments - without putting people in harm's way.

Safety First

Remove personnel from hazardous underground environments while getting better data

Traditional Underground Survey Risks

  • Personnel exposed to rockfall and ground collapse
  • Poor air quality and ventilation hazards
  • Limited visibility in dark, dusty conditions
  • Manual cavity entry for measurements
  • Slow data collection with safety delays

Our Remote Survey Approach

  • Operators stay 50+ feet from hazardous areas
  • Drones enter cavities - people don't
  • LiDAR works in zero visibility conditions
  • No physical entry into unstable stopes
  • 45% faster survey times with remote capture

Underground Applications

From mining stopes to infrastructure tunnels - accurate 3D mapping where GPS can't reach

Stope Volume & Profiling

Accurate measurement of mined-out stopes to verify blasted stock volumes and reconcile ore extraction

Mining

Cavity Monitoring (CMS)

High-density point cloud capture of underground voids for structural integrity and geotechnical analysis

Tunnel Excavation Progress

Track excavation volumes for metro, road, dam, and hydropower tunnel construction projects

Blasted Stock Measurement

Quantify broken ore and waste rock after blasting for accurate production reconciliation

Additional Underground Services

SLAM-Based LiDAR Technology

Our specially designed LiDAR systems and underground-capable drones navigate GPS-denied environments using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms.

GPS-Denied Navigation

SLAM algorithms enable precise positioning without satellite signals - works in complete darkness

Millions of Data Points

300-500 points/m² vs 10-50 for traditional CMS - significantly more detailed cavity representation

High-Level Accuracy

Survey-grade precision for volumetric calculations, blasting analysis, and geotechnical work

Real-Time 3D Mapping

View scan results immediately - verify data quality before leaving hazardous areas
