Metrology for Mining & Resource Extraction
3D scanning, drone surveying, and dimensional inspection for mining operations and heavy equipment across Canada.
Overview
Metrology Built for Mining
Overview Mining operations depend on accurate spatial data, equipment alignment, and reliable site documentation to support safe and efficient production. Frontier Metrology provides LiDAR scanning, 3D laser scanning, drone mapping, dimensional inspection, and modeling services for surface mines, underground operations, processing facilities, and aggregate sites. Our team delivers accurate measurement data that supports planning, asset management, equipment installation, volume calculations, and ongoing operational improvements.
The Challenge
Mining sites often span large areas with constantly changing terrain, complex processing equipment, and difficult access conditions. Traditional measurement methods can be time-consuming and may not provide the level of detail needed for engineering, maintenance, and operational decision-making.
Our Solution
Our FARO LiDAR scanners and drone systems capture complete site and equipment geometry with high accuracy. We deliver point cloud data, volumetric analysis, and dimensional reports that support operations, maintenance, and capital planning.
Applications
Common Applications in Mining
Where our measurement services make the biggest difference for Mining teams.
Stockpile Measurements
Accurate volumetric measurement of ore, aggregate, and material stockpiles for inventory management and reporting.
Site Documentation
Comprehensive 3D documentation of surface and underground mine sites for planning, compliance, and record-keeping.
Equipment Installation & Alignment
Precision installation and alignment of crushers, conveyors, mills, and other heavy mining equipment to manufacturer specifications.
Mine Scanning
High-density LiDAR scanning of open-pit and surface mine environments to capture accurate as-built conditions and track change over time.
Underground Mine Scanning
Detailed 3D scanning of underground tunnels, drifts, and stopes for structural assessment, clearance verification, and progress monitoring.
Expansion & Upgrade Planning
Capture existing conditions with precision scanning to support mine expansion, infrastructure upgrades, and tie-in point planning.
