Why Use Mining Drones?
Mining is a risky business with many elements to manage. Drone services can collect data and spot dangers quickly, all while crafting important analytics. Companies no longer need to send in-person teams into dangerous spots. Instead, they can turn to accurate, risk-free drone inspections.
Our drone pilot network at Drone1Source connects reliable pilots with clients in the mining industry. With our assets and services, you can find many different kinds of customers that need help:
- Surveying the land near mines
- Calculating stockpile inventories
- Monitoring mine construction
- Surveying mines and quarries
- Monitoring mine and quarry sites
- Creating 3D maps of mines
- Designing road and site layouts
- Optimizing mine traffic management
Popular Drone Mining Applications
Assess Mining Sources
The best way for mining companies to manage their resources is to understand what they have. Drone mining surveys can help corporations understand everything from water and sediment flow to current inventory levels. If you’re a drone operator, you can assist these mining companies with a variety of assessments - you just need to find the clients, and we can help with that.
Plan Operations
Aerial surveillance does more than just show what’s below. Custom drone services allow corporations to improve their operational management by spotting risks and inefficiencies. With the use of modern drone technology, many corporations have been able to speed up their processes while further reducing the risk to their teams and the environment.
Keep Sites Safe
Speaking of risk management, drone service providers can substantially reduce dangers and potential liabilities on mining properties. It is far easier to spot threats or weaknesses from above than it is to do so on foot. If you’re interested in helping with drone risk alleviation, talk to Drone1Source about partnering with a mining client in need.
Set Up Blast Sites
As a drone operator, you can also help with assessments before and after blasts. Modern drone technology allows for cost-effective, accessible 3D constructions and surface models. These make it easier (and safer) to plan blasts and drills, then survey the site afterward. Additionally, planning a blast with drone models helps companies use their explosives more efficiently.
