Survey Systems and Equipment
| 3D Laser Mapping | ||
The SiteMonitor fixed laser scanning system measures minute changes in slopes and rock faces. |
3D Laser Mapping offers a range of laser scanning solutions for rapid surveys of mines, quarries, waste deposits and transportation routes. |
SiteMonitor is already installed in mines across the world and through an internet facility, allowing mines to be monitored 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world. |
3D Laser Mapping is at the forefront of laser scanning in the mining sector. |
Data from SiteMonitor fixed laser scanning systems is already being continuously streamed from gold, platinum and diamond mines in Africa to 3D Laser Mapping’s global operations centre in Nottingham, UK. |

| AAMHatch | ||
AAMHatch operations encompass mine photography, LiDAR surveys, stockpile surveys, satellite imagery as well as land surveying. |
AAMHatch produces orthophotos, stockpile surveys, volume surveys and digital terrain-models using a wide range of survey technologies for mine mapping. |
Exploration studies, feasibility studies through to initial earthworks at greenfield sites are key mining activities supported by AAMHatch. |
Life-of-mine spatial information sourced from IKONOS satellite imagery, aerial photography and field surveys. |
Using industrial survey technologies including Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) AAMHatch produces 3D as-built surveys for brownfield sites. |

| Devico | ||
Devico’s directional core barrel is used for steering the borehole where you want. |
Multiple hits through a deposit give you good geological information; no need to drill from the surface each time. |
DeviSoft borehole software for PC saves you time by making the survey reports for you. |
The DeviDrill packages include technicians to steer, survey and maintain the directional core drilling. |
The PeeWee multi-shot borehole survey tool is rugged, lightweight and user-friendly. |
|
| GroundProbe | ||
The slope stability radar (SSR) is a state-of-the-art technology used for slope stability monitoring of open-cut mine walls. |
This system has already detected significant wall collapses with sufficient warning to allow the safe evacuation of people and equipment. |
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is an accurate and rapid method used to obtain high resolution images of the subsurface. |
SSR is the only system in the world that provides precise, real time measurement of rock wall movements across the entire face of a wall. |

| INLINE Systems | ||
Schölly mining fiberscopes are constructed for tough industrial handling, with five layers of protective coverings. |
Senior mine geologists and geotechnical engineers are using the Schölly mining scope for regular mapping of defects in the roof and floor of the mine workings. |
Schölly mining scopes can also be custom built to your desired length and diameter. |
With SnakeEye III you can see inside hard-to-reach places and record images quickly and easily. |

| Meridian Mining Services | ||
Meridian Mining Services provides a range of professional services and products for open-cut mines. |
Meridian Mining Services’ range of mine surveying services includes site survey personnel coverage, pit survey control and open pit modelling, blast design, and surveying modules. |
Deformation monitoring systems, installed and maintained by Meridian Mining Services, evaluate the long-term trends in measurements of excavations, tunnels, and surface structures that may become unstable. |
Lightning detection units are a critical safety tool for managing and minimising the risk of a lightning strike. |
Meridian Mining Services provides customised remote weather stations and has developed integrated remote power supply and radio communications modules. |
|
| Northern Survey Supply | ||
With Leica fieldPro, a surveying interface, mining surveyors can work directly on 3D mine designs while applying measurement data to the design layout. |
Northern Survey Supply’s wall mount prisms enable surveyors to secure control points at a comfortable and accessible height and increase accuracy and speed of use. |
Laser distance meters from Leica provide fast and easy distance measurements at the press of a button. |
Leica GeoMoS’ software provides a highly flexible automatic deformation monitoring system. |
The Leica GeoMoS Adjustment module for monitoring systems provides precise and reliable information on structural movement. |
