Volumes you can verify.
Mine surveys are central to mine planning. GeoSurv doubles its ground survey with drone survey so volumes can be checked.
Overview
What this service is and why it matters
Who it is for: Mines, mining contractors, engineering consultants and suppliers of bulk materials.
Mine survey forms a critical part of mine planning, so good care has to be taken when surveying for volumes. GeoSurv’s mining survey processes are usually doubled by the use of drones in addition to ground survey, to verify the quantity put forward.
This gives the client assurance that they are not paying extra, or being paid less, for the amount of material mined or supplied.
