Business Needs

A scanning and data consultancy company from France needed to transform data of a mining site scanned by their drones and develop CAD drawings. They needed the CAD drawings to enable them to build an easy and safe workflow for mine digging.

Challenges

Analyzing and understanding uneven slope, road sub-base and topography before beginning the actual CAD conversion.
Complex topography like steep banks, overgrown areas demanded skilled interpretation for the placement of safety berms.
Accurately interpreting cracks and fissures in the scanned data.

Our Solutions & Approach

Transformed data of a mining site scanned by drones and developed CAD drawings.

Share Your Thoughts

CAD engineers and managers at Hitech CADD Services initiated the project to create the right drawing set for the consultant to derive insightful results.
Our project engineers studied the scanned files to analyse the topography and plan the haul road, safety berm, quarry face and compute stockpiles.
Using software like AutoCAD and Mensura, the spatial information of the site was converted into highly-detailed and accurate CAD engineering drawings.
A detailed report to determine the lifecycle of the mine was prepared in excel for project documentation and site data analysis.
