Rapid, accurate spatial data capture for mining and civil applications.

Maptek laser scanners combine fast, accurate sensing, high resolution digital imagery and powerful modelling software to support safe, efficient survey workflows.

Scanner data capture is supported by high quality imagery. This gives survey teams confidence that accurate, current topographic and volumetric data is available to guide mine planning, geotechnical assessment and operational decision making.

Maptek laser scanning solutions are built on more than 45 years of mining technology experience and are supported and serviced in Australia by a team of survey and mining specialists.
