Geodetic surveying.

A full scope of topographic, geodetic and mine surveying services, including aerial laser scanning (ALS), aerial photography, and terrestrial photogrammetry

We specialize in creating high-precision digital terrain models and analyzing geospatial data — particularly relevant in mining, construction, design, and monitoring.

Key services

Aerial laser scanning

  • Producing a detailed point cloud followed by 3D terrain and digital elevation models
  • Measuring hidden or hard-to-reach areas, including vegetated zones and waste dumps
  • Using laser scanners for deformation control and early detection of potential landslides

Geodetic monitoring

  • Continuous or periodic monitoring of movements and deformations of buildings, structures, and open-pit slopes
  • High-precision instrumental methods
  • Real-time monitoring of settlements and tilts for timely detection and prevention of accidents
  • Data analysis to adjust design decisions with geomechanical factors in mind

Mine surveying

  • Determining reserves and extracted rock volumes
  • Preparing mine surveying documentation in accordance with Rostechnadzor requirements
  • Monitoring the dynamics of mining operations and collapse risk assessment

Topographic and geodetic surveys

  • Surveying and producing topographic plans for planning and design
  • Establishing horizontal and vertical control networks
  • Monitoring structure displacements and open-pit slope deformation

Aerial photography

  • Photographing large areas in a short time
  • Building orthophotomaps and 3D models for precise terrain analysis, mapping and topographic plans, as well as volume calculations
  • Improved accuracy when planning mining operations and reclamation work

Terrestrial photogrammetry

  • Highly detailed surveys of individual objects, open-pit slopes, structures and more
  • Combining terrestrial and aerial survey data for a more complete picture

Real-world examples

Mine surveying support at one of the ore deposits in Sverdlovsk Oblast helped resolve disputes between the subsurface user and the stripping contractor.
Regular aerial laser scanning of a reclaiming coal mine in Chelyabinsk Oblast makes it possible to analyze all ongoing deformations over a large area (over 700 ha) in office mode.
