Surveying, Mine Mapping and 3D Scanning in Nevada

Nevada surveying and mine mapping with drones and LiDAR: underground mine scanning, stockpile volumes, topography and 3D laser scanning.

Nevada is one of Darling Geomatics' service areas, and its mining industry is a natural fit for our work. We provide mine mapping, underground mine scanning with drones and LiDAR, stockpile volume surveys and topographic surveys across Nevada.

For gold mining operations we have mapped inactive underground workings with drones and LiDAR, producing 3D models that help plan a safe return to operation, the kind of work Nevada mines rely on.

Mining and more in Nevada

Nevada's gold, silver and lithium operations depend on accurate, current survey data: pit and stockpile surfaces for production, underground surveys for safety and planning, and claim staking for exploration. Darling Geomatics combines drone LiDAR, caged drones that fly inside underground workings and terrestrial laser scanning to map mine sites from the surface to underground.

Through MineSight, aerial, terrestrial and survey-grade data from a Nevada mine site come together in one consistent dataset, so engineers can make stockpile, grading and planning decisions sooner. Beyond mining, we provide topography and 3D scanning for development, industrial and infrastructure projects in Nevada.

Typical Nevada deliverables include stockpile volume reports, pit and haul road surfaces, point clouds and 3D models of underground workings and plants, and CAD drawings for engineering and permits. Call (520) 298-2725 or request a proposal to discuss your Nevada mine or project.

Can you scan underground workings in Nevada mines?

Yes. Caged drones carry LiDAR into adits, stopes and tunnels that are unsafe to enter, producing 3D models of the workings.

Do you survey stockpiles in Nevada?

Yes. Drone stockpile volume surveys cover whole yards in one flight, with consistent base surfaces each month.
