LiDAR Surveys. Gather precise information on various surfaces to discover cavities in open environments and woods.
Best Available Payloads. The Microavia R&D team keeps track of the best available payloads in the market to conduct geophysics surveys and advise customers.
Application of drones for collecting visual data particularly of difficult and volatile areas such as deep and high terrains of a mine, highwalls, crests, and inside stopes. Further, aerial data capturing from blast sites, reduces the risk of exposure on the ground to such dangers.
Hazardous environment, human factor, hard-to-reach sites, conventional monitoring cost
Drone monitoring capabilities make it the perfect instrument to enhance safety & security measures. Pre-scheduled inspection missions allow to check the conditions of mine or quarry and identify potential hazards without endangering the staff. Visual data collected by the UAV is considered reliable evidence for a regulator in case of any incidents on the job site.
No need for manual interference within the dump proximity when drones are around. By analyzing the captured data on Microavia's software platform, mining companies can maintain the structural integrity of the tailings dam, design expansion, and avoid failure.
Hazardous conditions, vast tailings dam areas, on-site failures
Information from UAV significantly facilitates construction site managers in the processes of monitoring making it almost real-time. As сontrol of active and validation of completed tasks save time & resources, regular drone flights make the budgeting and time frame more predictable. Saved progress records provide opportunities for excellent visualizations works.
Scale and complexity of job sites, numerous subcontractors, slow information update
Microavia UAVs can flight as regularly as needed and generate accurate photos and models that are especially effective in case of complex volume measurements. Drones that are fitted for supporting a variety of digital tracking solutions identify the locations of items even when visual contact isn’t possible. A properly equipped drone can quickly scan large areas for items fitted with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, or even use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to track the materials and equipment in-site.
By employing drones and a drone pilot instead of a piloted plane a mine can save around 90% of the cost per hour, and collect unlimited aerial data, including fine measurements by simultaneously capturing high end orthoimages.
One of the greatest challenges any mining company faces while managing stockpiles are their extreme height and area, which tends to change frequently. Drones enable mining companies to generate aerial terrain models of the inventory. Effective management of stockpiles could yield significant benefits for mining companies such as grade maximisation by blending of ore, production backup during situation of supply disruptions, and financial reporting.
Limited budgets for maintenance operations, significant areas, dangerous conditions
UAVs are perfect for that cluster of tasks due to their cost-efficiency and reproducible standardized digital result. Also a wide range of sensors shows the advantages of thermal and visual imagery for a comprehensive inspection.

Mining is amongst the most unsafe industries for workers, especially those performing deep underground activities. Workers can be subjected to rock falls, extremely humid conditions, gas leaks, dust explosions or floods, amongst other hazards. Therefore, mining companies have used drones at underground mines to monitor and inspect deep underground shafts.
