For mine operators, maintaining an accurate survey of site topography is essential for efficient and profitable operations.

Mapping resources created using latest-generation Sanborn geospatial, survey, and software technologies can help streamline decision making processes, playing a vital role in mining-related activities such as: planning, mapping mineral discoveries for licensing procedures, drilling / excavation maps, volumetric calculation, security & site monitoring, and maps for environmental impact analysis.

Sanborn geospatial, survey, and software technologies have applications for mining industries, such as:

  • As-built documentation
  • Bottleneck analysis
  • Accounting of construction activities
  • Deformation and convergence monitoring
    (multiple survey campaigns)
  • Geological documentation and analysis
  • Basis for reconstruction work
  • Maintenance and repair
  • Profile measurement
  • Volumetric calculation, e.g. excavation
  • Concrete thickness
  • Dump site analysis
  • Site navigation
  • Site security
  • Conservation / record of evidence, e.g. accidents, damages or discrepancies

Using the correct acquisition platform (Airborne, UAS, Mobile, or Ground-Based), paired with the appropriate sensor technology for the project area and mission (Ortho, Oblique, Lidar, Multispectral), Sanborn is a complete geospatial services solution provider for mining industry mapping applications.
