Stockpile Management

Aerial and ground based photogrammetry is pivotal in collecting precise volume calculations, visualizing contour lines, and conducting quality assessments using 2 and 3 dimensional models generated from multi-point data collection. It provides stakeholders with accurate data to apply to their own digital elevation and digital surface models in order to calculate stockpile volumes for waste mitigation and asset inventory. Extending the data dispersion into a comprehensive site analysis for allows continuous updating of stockpile inventory to validate quality and quantity of raw material.

Accordingly, mine operations are able to asses steeper slopes, prioritizing stacking and reclaiming, displacing less rock, and mitigating resource waste. Accurate stockpile volume calculations contribute to consistent inventory reporting into the project balance sheet, waste reduction for accounting, efficient supply chain organization, in addition to improved assessment of the materials inventory for sales teams.

Haul Road Optimization

Economic efficiency, environmental effects, and safety are all critical aspects of assessing haul road optimization. Build site roads are required to bear dense, dynamic loads due to the machinery on sites, quarries, and mining projects. So ensuring their design and maintenance are optimal is vital to job site integrity, risk mitigation, and workflow optimization. Incidents during construction can lead to costly setbacks, both in time and finances.
