Mining Survey services applicable to the ongoing operations and development work of a working mine can be provided by Merrett Mining Surveys. No matter what stage has been reached at the working mine – from early development drives through to full production – our mining survey team can apply their experience and bring modern survey techniques such as laser scanning and UAV (drone) photogrammetry to the task. Because these methods capture accurate data quickly and remotely, surveys can usually be carried out without disrupting production or putting personnel into hazardous areas of the site.
The provision of our services can be as consultants – in terms of helping you set up your own on site survey operations – or by direct provision by Merrett Surveys. Our operations and development services include:
Merrett Mining Survey specialists are here to advise on your mining project and to coordinate a better way of working if it can be achieved. Through exploration, development, production and closure, our surveys and mapping services can have a real impact on how you operate. Discover the varying technologies that enable us to provide such incisive and transformative survey services through each stage of the mining process.

Get In TouchOur team was recently asked to establish the orientation of historic underground workings relative to the surface at a former gold mine being considered for re-opening. Accurate mapping was essential so that new exploration drilling would avoid old stopes and drives – preventing costly drilling fluid losses and casing installation.
Working from just two adit entrances in a remote, high-altitude location, we surveyed a high-accuracy traverse tied to GPS control at surface, then captured the accessible workings with a Faro laser scanner recording up to one million points per second. Read more about this underground laser scanning project at a historic gold mine on our news page.
