Underground Mine Survey: LiDAR Scanning and 3D Modeling

Q: Can you scan an operating mine?

Yes, once we complete the additional MSHA training the site requires.

Underground LiDAR Scanning and 3D Modeling Services

Our underground mine survey scans what is actually down there with a LiDAR scanner and gives you a 3D model to plan from.

MSHA certified. 34 years of experience. Veteran owned and operated.

What you get

A 3D model of the workings, to scale, scanned with a Leica BLK360 LiDAR scanner.
The model tied to surface coordinates, so it lines up with your claims, drill holes and surface survey.
Plan and section views you can print.
Photos and notes on ground conditions.

Safety comes first

Our underground work is in historic and inactive workings, not operating mines. For an operating underground mine, we complete the additional MSHA training the site requires, including site-specific training, before anyone goes in.

Works best with

A model of the workings is the start of the plan. From there, the same team can:

Fly LiDAR over the surface above the workings (Drone LiDAR and photogrammetry)
Join surface and underground into one 3D model (GIS and 3D modeling)
Sample the old workings and outcrops (Soil and rock chip sampling)
Check who holds the ground before you buy or drill (Mineral rights and landman)
Permit the next phase of work (Permitting)
