Illuminate your quarry’s potential with Lucion’s UAV enabled Quarry Surveys. Make informed data-driven decisions for optimal resource management whilst protecting people and planet.
Quarry surveying is a crucial service, continually shaping mining and quarrying activities. At Lucion, we offer a shield for companies, mapping rock profiles, and quantifying extracted materials with utmost precision.
Over 20 years, our Surveying and Geospatial Teams have been at the forefront of technological advancement, adapting to industry challenges and ushering in a new era for quarry surveying.
Historically, quarry surveying faced challenges—bulky instruments, manual data collection, and hazardous environments. The advent of Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) and the modern total station revolutionised the field. Onboard logging and the integration of GPS further streamlined data capture.
In the late 1990s, remote measuring via lasers ensured safer surveys without approaching steep slopes. The industry continues to transform, and adapt to challenges. We embrace these innovations.
Today, we employ cutting-edge technology, utilising UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or aerial survey drones for efficient and safe quarry surveying. This eliminates health and safety risks, making the process more streamlined.
Our advanced surveys collect point cloud data within a day, generating highly accurate 3D models of quarry sites. These models, overlaid with contour data, create comprehensive maps. The high-resolution data facilitates the creation of 3D virtual rock faces for geotechnical engineers, ensuring precise and reliable slope stability analysis.
Lucion envisions the future of quarry surveying as a seamless blend of innovation and efficiency. Our commitment to evolving with technology ensures that our surveys remain at the forefront of the industry.
