MINING & AGGREGATES

The mining industry is highly-regulated, technical, and potentially dangerous. Operational efficiency and cost is crucial; And safety is paramount.

SUAs help mine sites improve efficiency, lower costs, and increase safety by gathering powerful aerial data.

  • SITE SURVEYING
    Surveying a potential mine site is faster, safer, and more cost-effective using SUA technology.
  • ​INFORMATION SHARING
    Easily share maps and site information between on-site supervisors, explosive technicians, and employees in the lab.
  • ​MATERIAL/AGGREGATE VOLUME ANALYSIS
    More accurately determine material volumes that can be extracted, or calculate material volume on site.
  • FRAGMENTATION ANALYSIS
    Fly over blast sites to photograph the rock and ensure that the blast was done correctly. Flying overhead to plan a future blast.
  • EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS TRACKING
    Keep track of the location of equipment and the amount of materials remaining.
  • TERRACE/RAMP EVALUATION
    Determine how much to add or remove for efficient operations.
  • ​BENCH EVALUATION
    Verify the face of the bench to understand structural integrity. Maintain safety by ensuring equipment is protected from falling over the side.
  • REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
    Easily survey your site to ensure environmental compliance (e.g., measure the elevation variation to protect against material and/or chemical runoff)
  • ​IMPROVED SAFETY
    Measure materials with SUA instead of dangerous and labour-intensive manual methods.
