Evo Enterprise - Long-range mining drone for site management

Mining drones for surveying and site monitoring

Mining and construction sites require an accurate view of changing terrain, infrastructure and site conditions.

Evo Enterprise transforms mining and construction surveillance with accurate, time-saving aerial insight to boost decision-making. Long-range VTOL flight, autonomous missions, and flexible payload configurations enable surveying, inspection and monitoring of large areas from sites where access may be limited or hazardous.

Benefits of mining drones

Longer flight times, repeatable missions and flexible payload configurations help teams cover more ground, collect consistent data and reduce time spent in difficult or hazardous areas.

Covering more ground in each flight reduces the number of surveys needed across large sites. Teams get updated maps sooner, with less time spent moving equipment and personnel between survey points.
Detailed LiDAR and imagery provide reliable measurements of terrain, stockpiles and infrastructure. Better site data gives engineering and survey teams a stronger basis for planning, volume calculations and progress assessment.
Aerial surveying reduces the need for personnel to take measurements in rocky, unstable or otherwise hazardous areas. Autonomous flight lets teams collect data from a safer distance without sending survey teams directly into those locations.

Mining drone applications

Mining and construction sites change continuously. Long-endurance flight, automated missions and configurable payloads enable surveying larger areas and returning with consistent datasets as work progresses.

  1. Area scouting

    1 - 6

    Area scouting

    Aerial imagery and LiDAR give teams a clearer view of terrain, access routes and site conditions before work begins. VTOL operations also make surveys possible from sites without runway access.

  2. Construction progress monitoring

    2 - 6

    Construction progress monitoring

    Regular aerial surveys show how a site is changing over time. Automated flight plans make it possible to repeat the same survey pattern and compare data between missions.

  3. Stockpile measurement

    3 - 6

    Stockpile measurement

    Measure stockpile volumes from aerial survey data rather than working around unstable material. High-resolution imagery provides the source data for repeatable photogrammetric measurements.

  4. Site security

    4 - 6

    Site security

    Monitor large or remote parts of a site from the air. Long flight times enable observation of wider areas from a single launch, with EO/IR payloads providing visual and thermal data.

  5. Haul route optimisation

    5 - 6

    Haul route optimisation

    Survey haul roads and surrounding terrain as site conditions change. Mapping and elevation data can be used to assess gradients, surface conditions and potential route changes.

  6. Hazard Identification

    6 - 6

    Hazard Identification

    Inspect areas that may be unsafe to approach on foot. Aerial imagery, thermal data and LiDAR can reveal terrain changes, water accumulation and other conditions that require closer assessment.

Mining mapping outputs

A single flight can capture multiple survey datasets, producing maps and models for mining and construction while enabling more missions per flight.

RGB orthomosaic maps

Georeferenced RGB imagery creates a detailed site map for surveying, progress checks and comparison between missions.

Digital elevation models

Elevation data records the shape and height of the terrain for slope analysis, drainage planning and site design.

3D terrain models

Photogrammetry and LiDAR data can be used to build measurable 3D models for volume calculations, terrain assessment and planning.
