Scanning Underground

The Maptek I-Site™ 8200 and the latest I-Site tools for modelling stopes, headings and tunnels have been impressing survey and planning teams at underground operations.

Void survey

At this underground mine in Australia, the I-Site 8200 was mounted on a 10-metre carbon fibre boom and extended over the void.

The 125-degree scan window on the I-Site 8200 captured all of the required data in one scan. The new spherical close solid tool in I-Site Studio and I-Site Void 4.1 mean a solid model is built and calculated in minutes.

Result: Safe and efficient survey, capturing the level of detail required for calculating accurate volumes.

The I-Site 8200 laser scanner is designed for underground survey applications such as measuring voids, drives, tunnels. It also has the versatility to handle interior silo survey and stockpile measurements. Streamlined survey workflow is built in to all I-Site laser scanning systems. Auto scan levelling is one of the best features of the I-Site 8200 system. A completely upside down scan comes in within 1 degree of accuracy.
