FAQ

Common questions

Which LiDAR system is best for mining?

+

For aerial work on DJI Matrice we recommend the Zenmuse L3 for long-range, high-density capture. For ground SLAM on Spot or handheld, the Leica BLK ARC and GreenValley LiGrip H300 deliver mine-grade accuracy.

Can you do underground or confined-space scanning?

+

Yes — Boston Dynamics Spot with BLK ARC handles drifts and shafts where GPS doesn't work. We also offer Terra Xross1 and other indoor drones for stope and ore-pass scans.

What GPR systems do you carry for mining?

+

SPH Engineering Cobra Drone CBD GPR, MALÅ GeoDrone 600, Aero 1000 NG, and Zond Aero 500 NG — all proven for overburden, void detection, and underground utility locating.

Do you support reconciliation workflows with our mine planning software?

+

Yes. Deliverables can be exported in LAS/LAZ, DXF, GeoTIFF, and ASCII for use in MineSight, Deswik, Vulcan, Surpac, and Leapfrog. We also support DJI Terra and LiDAR360 processing pipelines.
