Surveying for Mining & Development

Data Insights Reporting Package

Interpretation-ready data for mine and tailings management
Mine managers and engineers have a continual need for comprehensive survey data. For applications in planning and reporting, mining professionals need data that is site-wide, time-stamped, and accurate to ensure that site operations continue safely and efficiently.

The Data Insights Reporting Package is a custom supplementary report available with any recurring Mine Site Survey.
Key applications:
  • Mine site operations and planning
  • Tailings facility management and planning
  • Cut, placed, and stockpiled volume tracking for monthly and quarterly reporting
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Health and safety
  • Risk management and compliance
Elevation grid formats:
File Format(s): ASCII, CSV, DWG, DXF, ECW, ERS, LAS, TIF, and XML.

Thinned Grid formats are available to reduce file size for projects over low-grade slopes.
