The Process
Autonomous Geospatial Aerial Data Capture
Cloud based AI Platform
Remote Geotechnical Consulting
Initial Pit Capture and Modelling
•Full compliance-to-design of as-built pit slope
•Development of full pit structural model
•Identification and analysis of non conformance regions:
•Identification of insufficient catch capacity & potential rockfall hazards
•Spatial correlation based on wall orientation, lithology & structural influence
•Improved rockfall management & operational safety
•Incorporate achieved bench width & structural model into future D&B and slope design optimisation
Remote Inspections and Reporting
•Conducted by Autonomous Drone
•Remotely Operated from Operations Centre in Perth
•All inspections completed by experienced Geotechnical Engineer
•Scheduled and repeatable daily inspections ensure critical areas are reviewed, ensuring consistent and quality data collection.
•Removes personnel from crest and toe, providing access to high-risk regions of the pit
•Identify unseen hazards, reduce blind spots
•Inspection report containing key observations, required actions, images and video
•Real time feed and AI assistance to spotting requirements – situational awareness
Recurring Pit Modelling
•Compliance to design on freshly exposed development
•Early identification of structural & catch capacity concerns
•Continual update of structural model
•Reconciled wall data to feed into monthly Geotechnical Hazard Maps
•Allow operational controls to be implemented to manage rockfall hazard
•Drill & Blast and Excavation Optimisation:
•Continuous and timely feedback to monitor and effect change
•Assist in development of lithology and spatial specific D&B practices
•Quantify additional ex-pit trucked waste, due to non conformance
•Month – month performance tracking
