In the past three or four years, LiDAR has become a recognized service for many mining operations where tight timelines are critical issues, especially in remote areas.
LiDAR mapping is the most rapid methodology suited to provide the detail density and accuracy required by the industry. Resulting data products often are used for
designing:
- Safe and precise resource volumetric calculations and consumption measurement
- Open pit & waste disposal site surveys
- Fast and accurate calculations of terrain differences over time
- Rail and/or road access planning/development
- Camp and facility placement
- Electrical power transmission & generation planning
Fugro SESL's licensed ALS, SLS and CLS surveyors on staff allows the company to prepare MSL plans as well.
