Mining site mapped for volumetrics and safety inspections

Drone Mapping for Mining Sites

Monitor pit geometry, extraction progress, and volumetric change with accurate aerial mapping and stockpile reporting.

Volume, Terrain & Linework Without Disruption

FAST captures mine geometry, extraction progress, and material movement via aerial surveys. From pit base to perimeter, we deliver safe, repeatable surface data that supports planning, reporting, and operations.

Mining-Grade Accuracy at Every Flight

Whether measuring pit progression or modeling benches and blast zones, our drone surveys offer centimeter-level detail without interrupting operations or exposing personnel to active hazards.

Geometry of Pits and Benches

Visualize slopes, elevation transitions, and excavation stages for internal coordination.

Tracking Volumes Over Time

Track volume changes using our built-in-house volume comparison software - keeping all your data in one place.

Surface Feature Context

Map roads, berms, and site layout to support planning and operational routing.

Mining Teams Ask Us

Explore how drone surveys reduce site risk, increase reporting frequency, and support production planning.

Can terrain and volume changes be tracked over time?

Yes. Recurrent observation enables comparative assessment of extraction or accumulation.

Does flight activity affect operations on site?

No. Flights are conducted away from production zones and coordinated with safety protocols.

How fast is data typically returned?

Most projects are reviewed and returned within 2–4 business days depending on complexity.
