UAV Data Collection for Mining & Aggregates

Precise stockpile volumes, active pit mapping, and highwall analysis without interrupting your operations. We deploy survey-grade lidar and photogrammetry to keep your personnel out of harm's way while delivering verifiable site data.

Eliminate the "Boots on the Ground" Risk

Walking active pits, navigating haul roads, and climbing shifting aggregate stockpiles are some of the highest-risk activities on a mine site.

By utilizing our fixed-wing VTOL aircraft and multi-return lidar sensors, we capture millions of highly accurate data points from above. Your heavy machinery never has to stop, your personnel stay out of the pit, and you receive updated topography in a fraction of the time it takes a traditional crew.

Actionable Mine Data

We frequently work directly with competing drone companies who lack fixed-wing or heavy-lift lidar capabilities, as well as private surveying firms. We understand the importance of client relationships.

Stockpile Volume Calculations

In the aggregate business, volume is revenue. We provide hyper-accurate 3D modeling of stockpiles for precise cut/fill analysis, inventory auditing, and financial reporting.

Pit Progress & Haul Roads

Regular topographic updates allow mine engineers to verify pit progression against design plans, optimize haul road grades for fuel efficiency, and calculate overall extraction volumes.

Highwall & Structural Analysis

Safely map sheer cliffs and steep highwalls. Our lidar sensors capture the dense, structural point clouds required to analyze slope stability and identify potential rockfall hazards.

Built for the Quarry: The VTOL Advantage

(Light Gray Text, Max Width 700px): Standard fixed-wing mapping drones require long, smooth grassy areas to land—a luxury that does not exist in an active rock quarry.

(Light Gray Text): Our Quantum Systems Trinity Pro features Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities. It launches straight up like a helicopter from a confined staging area, transitions to forward flight to map up to 1,700 acres, and descends gently back to its exact launch point. No belly landings on jagged rocks, and no runway required.
