Surveying 240 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Greenland presents many challenges, but Lidar provided a rapid and detailed survey to enable the design of a new open pit mine, plus access road to/from the camp/dock location, 600 below. We also own and operate a terrestrial laser scanner that can be deployed to scan the interior of mines and can deploy a remotely operated vehicle where access to the mine is difficult.

The video (right) shows Digital Elevation Model with aerial photography overlaid. Difficult access to closed mine entrance. The aerial survey for the new open pit needed to be linked to the older undeground workings, where waste from the new pit would be placed.
