TLS for Mine Expansion

AAM successfully used Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and SiteSee™ to assist in a feasibility study for expansion.

A two person TLS team was commissioned to scan the northern half of a concentrator building as part of a feasibility study for the expansion of a manganese mine. This was AAM’s second successful TLS job at the site, with the first providing engineers with 3D as-built data for a refit of the southern section of the concentrator building.

During the two week campaign, 90 scans were completed, acquiring over 1 billion 3D points. In addition to this, 100 SiteSee photo montages were delivered, which engineers were able to use in ‘before and after’ comparisons of the newly refitted southern section of the building. The SiteSee imagery enabled offsite engineers working in a different state to traverse around the site from the safety and comfort of their desk. The laser scanning was vital to the engineering team and will be referred to in their CAD software, Leica Cloudworx.
