SIMMs Audits

Delta Scan specialises in horizontal and vertical underground structures, like ventilation or elevator shafts, haulages and ore passes, to assess their condition and ensure safety. It involves checking for structural integrity, wear, corrosion, and obstructions. Our advanced tools like static LiDAR and drone based LiDAR along with high resolution cameras are used for precise data collection. These inspections are essential for maintaining safety standards and preventing costly repairs and accidents, preventing blockages, and ensuring the longevity of underground infrastructure. Our services, deliverables and expertise plug in seamlessly to SIMMs based audits.

Some Areas of applicability include:

  • Ore Passes
  • Access Shafts
  • Vent Shafts
  • Pipe inspections
  • Underground Storage
Terrestrial LiDAR technology

Underground Surveys

Surveying and inspections involve examining vertical and horizontal passages used in mining operations ensuring information is georeferenced and accurate. This focuses on assessing structural integrity, choke points, and identifying wear or damage that could affect efficiency and efficacy in underground production. The use of advanced hardware technologies are used to access and assess hard-to-reach areas. Regular inspections are crucial to maintaining operational safety and efficiency, preventing blockages, and ensuring the longevity of the ore pass.

Our regular inspections include: 

  • Vertical and horizontal, geo-referenced shaft digitisation
  • Vertical and horizontal shaft inspections
  • Ore pass scanning
  • Stope mapping
  • Underground Volumetrics
  • Confined space inspections
  • Emergency or Collapse/ Fall of ground inspections – zero risk to human
