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.
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.
