Mining and quarry surveys

Mining and quarry surveys

Open-pit mines and quarries are mapped without anyone walking hazardous ground. Repeatable flights give surveyors accurate surfaces, volumes and progress records for every bench and stockpile.

  • Pit, bench and extraction-area mapping
  • Stockpile volume estimation
  • Excavation progress tracking
