Scope
Delta Scan was engaged to perform an annual baseline assessment of two storage silos for a platinum mining operation in Mpumalanga. The inspection covered both external and internal surfaces using drone-based data capture, which minimised operational downtime for the client.
Services
The team combined drone photogrammetry with SLAM LiDAR using the ELIOS 3 inside the silos. Internal inspections took roughly ten minutes of flight time per silo. Delta Scan also rolled out a new internal data capture workflow that allows the team to generate interior facade maps, a capability that had previously been difficult to deliver at this fidelity.
Outcome
Deliverables included full internal and external digital twin models annotated with identified defects, LiDAR point cloud data for geometric verification, facade maps for both internal and external surfaces, and a comprehensive baseline report with findings and remediation recommendations, all turned around within six days of leaving site.
