Underground Surveying Solution Workflows

FARO's advanced 3D technologies transform mine surveying operations, increasing productivity and improving safety across various workflows.

Whole Mine Plan

A comprehensive mine plan integrates all aspects of mining, from exploration to safety and environmental impact. 3D laser scanning provides detailed geological data for efficient resource extraction and better decision-making.

Production Progress Mapping

Production progress continuously monitors excavation and extraction activities, providing clear visibility into the mines progress. 3D laser scanning technology offers accurate and repeatable data capture for data-driven adjustments to improve efficiency.

Rock Bolt Surveys

Rock bolt surveys are essential for ensuring the stability and safety of underground mining operations. Regular 3D maps help to identify precise measurements of bolt spacing and stress levels, aiding in locating areas that require reinforcement.

Convergence Analysis

Convergence analysis is crucial for monitoring movement in the rock face and assessing the stability of tunnels over time. Laser scanners offer detailed 3D data of the mined tunnels, highlighting early signs of ground instability.

Stockpile Surveys

Regular stockpile surveys improve mine operations by accurately measuring and managing material inventories. 3D laser scanning technology provides precise and repeatable data acquisition for volumetric calculations.
The implementation of mobile LiDAR technology has significantly enhanced the productivity of our surveying. It has reduced acquisition and exposure times compared to other technologies, and qualitatively, the survey scope has increased by 300% compared with previous equipment. The improvement is so substantial, making comparisons with older technology is irrelevant.
