Underground Mapping

BACK TO SOLUTIONS

Underground Mapping

Specializing in underground mapping and shaft scanning for clients in the mining industry Wingfield continues to expand. The most recent additional service to be offered is autonomous UAV / Drone LiDAR Mapping for inaccessible areas.

Related Case Studies

Room and Pillar Scanning

Using static and dynamic LiDAR systems we are able to map, measure, and track room and pillar progress. LiDAR and processing data allows for enhanced visualization of areas of interest and more precise volumetrics.

Mine Shaft Scanning

Shaft scanning has been used for rehab, repairs, change detection, and historical mapping. The ability to mount our dynamic LiDAR system to a cage and map shafts effectively, safely, and quickly means lower amounts of downtime in hoist operations.

Underground Structure Scanning

With the ability to scan and map with high resolution gives Wingfield expertise in structure scanning not only on the surface but underground. Making upgrades to structures or creating blueprints that can be accessed anywhere saves time and money.

Autonomous UAV LiDAR Scanning

This UAV can be manually or autonomously flown to map areas that are inaccessible or lack the structural integrity for safe entry. It is commonly used for stopes and voids, failing and older or abandoned working areas, and for basic inspection.

Underground Room and Pillar Example

A sample of a room and pillar point cloud and rendered surface used for volumetric calculation, as-built vs design, convergence, mine design updates, and more!

Underground Maintenance Shop Example

A processed and scanned underground maintenance shop that was being measured for dimensions and clearance checks for new and existing equipment.

Shaft Scanning with Timber Sets

Point cloud data captured in one hour on a two-compartment 2,000ft timber lined shaft. Data is used for rehabbing, documentation, change detection, and scoping purposes for other contractors.

Large Pillars and Change Detection

Large underground mines with high roofs or backs can be challenging to check for changes or movement. The LiDAR systems used by Wingfield can scan to a range of 600 meters underground and provide real data that can be compared overtime to track movement.

Headframe Structural Example

If a structure is being rehabbed or being upgraded and there is limited access on a daily basis. Scanning the structure can be valuable for contractors to check measurements without going to site or stopping production.

Underground Crane Example

Planning upgrades for underground but need to be sending information to contractors on placement of equipment or measurements? Digital twins allow you take measurements in software and avoid the cage ride to check on a measurement.

Point Cloud Data of Collapsed Inaccessible Tunnel

This point cloud data was captured using Autonomous UAV LiDAR to be used for rehabilitation project analysis in a partially collapsed rail tunnel.

Professional LiDAR Scanning

The ability to use various LiDAR and UAV technologies in the field allows us to rapidly capture data in adverse conditions while maintaining timelines for quarry updates or stockpile inventories.

LEARN MORE

Geotechnical Data Capture

High resolution georeferenced data can be captured and processed ready to import into various geotechnical software packages.

Autonomous LiDAR UAV/Drone

Using our Autonomous UAV/Drone to examine abandoned mine travel-ways allowed our client to understand and mitigate hazard before exposing men and machines. The video-LiDAR displayed critical, otherwise inaccessible data available to decision makers.
