Open Pit Applications Case Studies

Taking the pain out of routine mine survey

Boddington Bauxite Mine uses the Maptek I-Site system with integrated GPS technology to efficiently survey 16 pits over an area of 12 km x 10 km every month.

Andina implements I-Site at Rio Blanco Mine

Andina has implemented I-Site for laser scanning system at the Rio Blanco orebody operation, allowing for more stringent geotechnical controls in achieving proposed mine designs.

Accurate volumes for overburden removal

Rio Tinto Alcan trialled a new method of overburden removal using the I-Site laser scanner. Surveying the site before and after stripping the overburden improved efficiency and saved 40% in time taken.
