We have developed a system that can profile through drilling mud

Survey down 3,000’ (900 m) depth or more.


The system can be shipped by air cargo.

This image is part of the deliverables of a borehole sonar survey, note the angled soft stratum.


Hardware and software was developed in house Produces an underwater 3D point cloud (XYZ data) Approximately 2 cm accuracy

This image shows processed sonar data of a flooded 200 by 300 meter mine stope. Five different boreholes where used.


Survey 4 to 5 boreholes per day
Tie multiple surveys together
2,500’ system tether lengths available
Useful sonar range of 100 m

Sound footprint, approx. 3% of range

We use Total Stations and RTK GPS units.

MINE SURVEY TECHNOLOGIES

Borehole
Tailings pond bathymetry
Mine stopes 3D

Detailed bathymetric surveysDigitally remove flooded debris from the resulting bottom features


Obtain water volumes

An in house designed system that can be deployed through 6” boreholes, create a dense point cloud, in areas such as flooded mine stopes and galleries

Depths of 1,000’ attainable

Accuracies: Laser 7mm, Sonar 20 mm

This image shows a tailings pond bathymetric survey with the flooded debris digitally removed.

  • RTK GPS technology for better than 2 cm  accuracies depending on location.
  • Survey dam faces.
  • Survey up to the shoreline
  • XYZ data and CAD drawings included in the report
