MINING & TUNNELING
3D laser scanning makes it possible to accurately measure and survey the condition of mines or tunnels in an efficient and inexpensive manner for inspection and maintenance. Using 3D laser scanning the condition of the mine or tunnel can be recorded with accurate measurements capable of recording any signs of failure, including cracks or fissures, which can be compared with previous scans to identify areas of concern. These areas of concern can be analyzed using deformation surveys to verify integrity improving safety while mitigating costly setbacks. As the 3D scanner can scan from large distances we are able to scan areas of concern at a safe location. Moreover, the variety of sizes of scanners we operate allows for the accurate collection of data even in areas that may be hard to access. Scan data can be tailored to the specific needs of the client including format and specification. For clients who are not familiar with point clouds, we offer cloud-to-CAD conversion. 3D scanning ensures that there is no margin for errors in design or maintenance saving both time and potential material costs.
For underground mines or tunnels mapping and monitoring are essential in ensuring safety and smooth operation. However, due to the unavailability of GPS underground, it is often very difficult or impossible to obtain accurate geo-positioned maps of an underground environment. However, by 3D laser scanning an underground mine or tunnel, point clouds can be georeferenced and coregistered to accurately map an underground environment in 3D space with accurate geographic coordinates.
