MINING AND AGGREGATES

​

Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), offer numerous benefits in the mining and aggregates industry due to their ability to gather data efficiently and safely from the air.

ACCURATE & DETAILED DATA

​

  1. Surveying and Mapping: UAVs equipped with high-resolution cameras and LiDAR sensors can conduct aerial surveys of mining sites and aggregate quarries. These surveys provide detailed 3D maps and models of the terrain, enabling operators to plan and optimize extraction processes effectively.

  2. Stockpile Measurement: UAVs can accurately measure stockpile volumes of mined materials such as ore, gravel, sand, and other aggregates. By capturing aerial imagery and utilizing photogrammetry techniques, UAVs calculate stockpile volumes with high precision, facilitating inventory management and resource planning.

  3. Site Monitoring and Management: UAVs enable regular monitoring of mining and aggregates sites to track changes in terrain, vegetation, and infrastructure. Real-time aerial imagery allows operators to identify potential safety hazards, assess environmental impacts, and optimize operations for efficiency.

  4. Asset Inspection: UAVs equipped with cameras and sensors can inspect mining equipment, infrastructure, and facilities for maintenance and safety purposes. They can capture high-resolution images and videos of machinery, conveyors, pipelines, and other assets, allowing operators to detect defects and abnormalities early.

  5. Environmental Monitoring: UAVs support environmental monitoring efforts by capturing aerial imagery and data on land use, vegetation cover, water bodies, and air quality. This information helps mining and aggregates operators assess environmental impacts, comply with regulations, and implement mitigation measures.

  6. Exploration and Prospecting: UAVs can be used for mineral exploration and prospecting by conducting aerial surveys of unexplored or remote areas. They can detect geological features, anomalies, and mineral deposits through remote sensing techniques, providing valuable data for decision-making in exploration activities.
