Mining & Aggregates

At Elev8 Visions, we provide mining and aggregate operations with the aerial data needed to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and optimize production. Our drone-based mapping and inspection solutions deliver fast, survey-grade results that cut costs and give your team the confidence to make better decisions on-site.

Stockpile Volumetrics

Accurate volume measurements are critical for inventory management and billing.

  • Measure stockpiles of ore, aggregates, or overburden with centimeter precision

  • Track material movement over time for resource planning

  • Eliminate manual surveys that put workers at risk

  • Provide defensible data for contracts, billing, and compliance

Pit & Haul Road Mapping

Our aerial surveys give you a complete picture of site operations.

  • Map pits, benches, and haul roads for operational planning

  • Generate 2D orthomosaics and 3D digital terrain models

  • Identify unsafe road grades, slopes, and potential hazards

  • Reduce downtime with rapid data collection and analysis

Cut & Fill Analysis

Monitor earthworks progress and optimize site development.

  • Calculate cut-and-fill volumes for excavation projects

  • Track overburden removal and material placement

  • Support planning, compliance, and cost control

  • Deliver actionable data in CAD/GIS formats

LiDAR for Complex Environments

Dense vegetation or rough terrain doesn’t stop us.

  • LiDAR penetrates tree cover to reveal true ground surfaces

  • Create accurate topographic maps even in challenging sites

  • Classify point clouds for ground, vegetation, and structures

  • Enable long-term planning with high-quality 3D models

Hazardous & Remote Inspections

Keep your crews safe by reducing exposure to high-risk areas.

  • Inspect slopes, walls, and unstable structures remotely

  • Deploy thermal imaging to detect equipment or infrastructure issues

  • Operate in off-grid environments with solar and satellite communications

  • Support emergency response with rapid aerial deployment
