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

Maptek R3 mkII series laser scanner data capture is supported by high quality image acquisition that allows survey teams to be confident that accurate, current topographic and volumetric data is guiding mine planning and geotechnical applications.

Imagery and lidar scan points are acquired simultaneously thanks to the built in HDR digital camera, ensuring high resolution images are immediately available for geotechnical analysis and visualisation.

Maptek FieldHHC combines a powerful, simple GUI with intuitive features for controlling survey workflow in the field. It follows standard survey setup and scan georeferencing, enabling users to enjoy the most efficient survey experience.

Maptek laser scanning solutions are founded on our 40 years of experience in mining technology, and are supported and serviced by our team of survey and mining specialists.

Case Studies

Dual window option

The XR3-D dual window system captures data from both sides simultaneously, halving the data acquisition time when scanning from the safety of a moving vehicle.

Survey crews can scan surrounding terrain in both directions while travelling to capture specific mine measurement data for seamlessly acquiring haul roads, gradients and infrastructure.

Cold climate option

The XR3 and UR3 MkII cold climate laser scanners allow operations to conduct survey and monitoring tasks for hours in extremely low temperature conditions.

Systems are developed to operate at temperatures down to -20°C, with a limited operating time below that. A removable neoprene jacket protects the laser scanner against wind chill.
