Mine Subsidence
LiDAR Monitoring

Repeatable Surface Change Analysis

LiDAR technology provides an efficient method for monitoring terrain elevation changes over time across mining and subsidence-prone areas.

​

By performing repeat UAV LiDAR flights, surface models can be compared to identify:

​

• Settlement

• Surface movement

• Deformation

• Erosion

• Earthwork changes

​

Advantages of UAV LiDAR for Subsidence Monitoring

​​

• High point density

• Repeatable data collection

• Efficient coverage of large sites

• Ability to map steep or hazardous terrain

• Vegetation penetration capability

• Detailed elevation comparisons

​

Deliverables

​​

• Surface comparison models

• Elevation change heat maps

• Point clouds

• Contours

• Cross sections

• Terrain surfaces

• CAD/GIS exports
