High-Accuracy Drone Surveys

Acquire detailed, three-dimensional aerial data of your mine site, facilitating the creation of highly accurate and precise orthophotographs and digital elevation models. These outputs support informed decision-making on:

  • stockpile volumes,
  • topographic analysis,
  • geotechnical and hazard investigation,
  • surface water runoff,
  • mine planning and
  • blast effectiveness.

Enhance your sites operational efficiency with faster, safer, and more cost-effective data collection compared to traditional methods.

Proprietary Ground Control Point (GCP) Solutions

Our team of experienced surveyors has developed a line of high-performance, customisable GCP solutions specifically designed for the demanding environments of mine sites.

These durable, easily identifiable GCPs provide a lightweight solution that can be rapidly installed to develop permanent reference locations across a site.

GCP are utilised both in data processing and as a post process quality control check.

Ensure the highest levels of accuracy in your next drone survey, by forming the foundation of reliable data collection through purchasing and installation of our low cost GCPs.

David Arnott & Associates GCPs are available for purchase and can be shipped to your site directly to seamlessly integrate with your drone surveying needs.

Sustainable Surveying Solutions

We can empower your team to conduct high-quality drone surveys in-house as an alternative to outsourcing UAV surveying. Through comprehensive training and ongoing support, we equip your workforce with the skills and knowledge necessary for not only continuous improvement and cost-effective data acquisition but also in being able to critically evaluate end products either prepared internally or provided by your chosen supplier of photogrammetric surveying.

It is our belief that by understanding the processes involved in the creation of 3D photogrammetric elevation models, that personnel can have confidence with the information presented to them and any associated limitations.

David Arnott & Associates is committed to partnering with mining companies to optimise operations through innovative drone technology. Let us help you unlock the full potential of your mine site. Contact us today to discuss your specific needs
