I-Site geotechnical solutions

Geotechnical engineering teams at Anglo American coal sites in Australia use Maptekâ„¢ I-Siteâ„¢ for highwall mapping, reconciliation and drill & blast planning.

A major exporter of metallurgical coal in Australia, Anglo American has 6 operations in Queensland and New South Wales.

• Highwall mapping – structural definition for kinematic analysis
• Reconciliation – plans to actual
• Drill & blast – optimise initiation direction and pattern spacing
• Material strength definition – analyse cause of failures

Planning and operations departments now get feedback in real time on how the pit is performing to design and advice on how to reduce risk. Using I-Site technology has sped up geotechnical data capture and reduced processing time compared to other highwall mapping techniques. Geotechnical engineers can spend more time in the field, where their expertise can add value.
