Trimble Surveying Solutions for Mining Applications

Trimble provides advanced surveying instruments such as GNSS receivers that are ideal for mining applications involving stockpile and excavation surveys, where volume measurements are required, Trimble's spatial imaging solutions enable you to calculate fast and accurate volumes using a higher density of points than traditional measuring methods and create volume reports directly in the field. When mine safety is a concern, Trimble's real-time monitoring solutions provide reliable alerts to any stability issues along open-pit mine walls and underground shafts.

Safety in Open Pit Mining

To provide additional safety measures in the open-pit mining environment, real-time monitoring of mine wall movement is essential. Trimble's real-time monitoring solutions provide continuous 24/7 remote data collection, analysis, and warning alarms to immediately alert personnel to stability problems. At the heart of this system is the Trimble 4D Control Advanced monitoring software , controlling any number of Trimble S8 instruments to remotely collect continuous data for analysis and reporting. The Trimble S8 Total Station offers unique Long Range FineLockâ„¢ technology specifically designed for real-time monitoring in mining. You can monitor targets up to 2500 m away with centimeter accuracy.

Mining - Real-Time Monitoring

Trimble S8 Total Station with Trimble Survey Controller and Trimble 4D Control Advanced Office Software

The Trimble S8 Total Station offers unique FineLock™ Long Range technology specifically designed for real-time monitoring in mining. You can monitor targets up to 2500 m away with centimeter accuracy. Trimble 4D Control office software offers real-time and postprocessed data collection and analysis to address a wide range of monitoring needs. It reads rounds imported from Trimble Survey Controller field software and reveals even the slightest movement of targets over time.

Mining - Volumetric Survey

Trimble Spatial Imaging sensors vastly increase productivity and accuracy on volume surveys. The Trimble VX Spatial Station offers 3D scanning for collecting many points quickly; the Trimble GX 3D Scanner takes surface scanning to the next level with dense point clouds of data. The complete system provides more accurate volume calculation using a higher density of points than traditional methods.
