Enhance Mine Site Efficiency with Precision Drone Surveying
David Arnott & Associates provides consulting services to the Australian Mining & Quarrying industries. We offer services in geology, mine planning & low altitude aerial surveying. Our Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) are specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of the mining sector & its diverse needs.
Acquire detailed, three-dimensional aerial data of your site, facilitating the creation of highly accurate and precise orthophotographs and digital elevation models. These outputs support informed decision-making on:
- stockpile volumes,
- topographic analysis,
- geotechnical and hazard investigation,
- surface water runoff,
- mine planning and
- blast effectiveness.
We offer photogrammetric data capture at 20 and 42 MP resolution, along with LiDAR for point cloud definition .
We can empower your team to conduct high-quality drone surveys in-house as an alternative to outsourcing UAV surveying. Through comprehensive training and ongoing support, we equip your workforce with the skills and knowledge necessary for not only continuous improvement and cost-effective data acquisition but also in being able to critically evaluate end products either prepared internally or provided by your chosen supplier of photogrammetric surveying.
It is our belief that by understanding the processes involved in the creation of 3D photogrammetric elevation models, that personnel can have confidence with the information presented to them and any associated limitations.
Our team of experienced surveyors has developed a line of high-performance, customisable GCP solutions specifically designed for the demanding environments of mine sites.
These durable, easily identifiable GCPs provide a lightweight solution that can be rapidly installed to develop permanent reference locations across a site.
GCP are utilised both in data processing and as a post process quality control check.
Ensure the highest levels of accuracy in your next drone survey, by forming the foundation of reliable data collection through purchasing and installation of our low cost GCPs.
GCPs are available for purchase and can be shipped to your site directly to seamlessly integrate with your drone surveying needs.
We are committed to partnering with clients looking to optimise operations through innovative drone technology. Enhance your sites operational efficiency with faster, safer, and more cost-effective data collection. Let us help you unlock the full potential of your site.
