Business Needs:

  • Transform drone-generated point cloud data into accurate CAD drawings.
  • Evaluate terrain elevation, contours, and slope gradients to plan safe mining operations.
  • Generate precise terrain models, haul road alignments, and stockpile measurements for informed decision-making.
  • Create engineering-grade CAD documents to enhance mine safety and improve excavation workflows.

Project Challenges:

  • Analyze irregular terrain conditions, road sub-base, and complex geological formations.
  • Map steep embankments and densely vegetated areas for accurate safety-berm placement.
  • Detect minor cracks and fissures within high-density point cloud datasets.
  • Preserve geometric accuracy and scale during CAD conversion.

Our Solutions and Approach:

A France-based Scanning and Data Consultant approached TrueCADD to process drone-scanned data of a mining site and develop detailed CAD drawings.

  • Converted drone-scanned point cloud data into high-precision 2D/3D CAD engineering drawings.
  • Analysed site topography to plan haul roads, safety berms, quarry faces, drainage paths, and stockpile volumes.
  • Used AutoCAD and GEOMENSURA to produce fully geo-referenced, survey-accurate CAD deliverables.
  • Developed an Excel-based reporting system for lifecycle analysis and project documentation.

Business Impact:

  • Enhanced planning accuracy with standardized, survey-ready CAD outputs.
  • Streamlined workflows via a robust QA/QC matrix.
  • Improved site safety using precise terrain and geospatial data.
  • Enabled faster decisions with reliable geometry and accurate volumetric data.
