Spatial Information for Resource Operations
Site, quarry and excavation surveys, volume calculations and mapping for resource operations.
01Overview
Surveying supports the measurement, mapping and monitoring of land and selected features associated with mining, quarrying and natural resource operations.
Operators need reliable measurements to plan extraction, manage stockpiles, track progress and maintain records. DASFADS provides survey information that is consistent between visits, so changes on the ground can be measured and compared with confidence.
02Service scope
- Site and boundary surveys
- Topographic surveys of operational areas
- Quarry and excavation measurement
- Surface-level and volume calculations
- Stockpile measurement where suitable methods are available
- Access-route and infrastructure mapping
- Spatial data preparation for operational planning
- Survey monitoring where required
03Who we support
- Mining operators
- Quarry businesses
- Infrastructure contractors
- Resource developers
- Land managers
04Potential deliverables
- Survey plans
- Coordinates
- Terrain models
- Volume calculations
- Digital drawings
- Supporting reports
The measurement method, reference surface and assumptions used for volume calculations are agreed and documented.
05What to provide
Sharing this information with your request helps us scope the work accurately and respond faster.
- Site location and operational area extent
- Type of measurement needed (boundary, topographic, volume, monitoring)
- Previous survey data for comparison, where available
- Site safety and access requirements
- Reporting frequency if repeat surveys are required
06Scope considerations
Before you commission this service
Volume calculations depend on the agreed reference surface, measurement method and site conditions at the time of survey. Where suitable methods are not available for a given stockpile or excavation, we will advise before work begins.
07Common questions
How are stockpile volumes calculated?
Volumes are computed by comparing a measured surface against an agreed reference surface. The method and assumptions are documented so results can be compared consistently over time.
