Geospatial analytics for underground mining. Terra works on the LiDAR scans you already take and ranks the pillars, faces and headings that need attention.
The scans exist. The decisions are delayed.
Keeps the point cloud.
Scans are processed by hand, one at a time, by a stretched team.
Keeps the design.
Pillar checks use the pillar that was designed, not the one that was cut.
Keeps the drill data.
Short rounds and overbreak surface at month-end, too late to fix the round.
Keeps the shift report.
Compliance evidence rests on inspection sheets.
Your mine scans the way it does today. After the upload, everything runs without anyone queuing at a desktop.
Send up the scan your surveyors already took, in the standard point-cloud formats from the scanners you own. There is no new scanning routine and no new hardware.
Terra places it in its section, keeps one current model of the mine, and measures it against your plan and design.
Findings arrive ranked, in front of the person who owns the fix.
Each module answers one question, and all three run on the same platform.
Are we mining to plan?
Advance, width and height are measured against plan and design across the whole mine, as soon as a scan lands. Development that is quietly slipping shows up before anyone downstream notices, and nobody has to stitch the numbers together by hand.
Did the blast deliver?
Every blasted face is modelled in 3D and scored against the planned round, with the drill data beside it, so the pattern is fixed on the next round instead of at month-end. Geological sampling is overlaid on the faces, which means reference drilling follows evidence.
Is the ground behaving as designed?
Pillar factor of safety is calculated on the pillars as they were cut, and spans and widths are checked against design. Roof bolts are detected in the scan, and brows, cavities and roof falls since the last survey are flagged for your rock engineer.
Terra is an indicator for the rock engineer, not a design sign-off.
Brows and cavities against bolt length, pillar factor of safety, and spans and widths against design.
The newest survey wins at every spot, and older scans stay available for comparison.
Each rule is documented and each limit is set by your mine. Surveyors can override advance, width and height.
Terra says when a scan isn’t dense enough and marks ground that no scan reached. It doesn’t claim to see loose rock.
Each step ends in a decision, and nothing is committed until your mine chooses to continue.
4 to 6 weeks
You send one to three months of archive scans and your design data. You get your own short rounds, overbreak and ground-control concerns back, checked against your survey and geotechnical records. It needs no new survey work.
8 to 12 weeks
Your LiDAR data pipeline is set up, limits are agreed with your technical team, and users, roles and any extra development are scoped.
Monthly, ongoing
Full platform access on a monthly subscription. There is no long-term contract, and you confirm at each step before continuing.
Book a demo and we’ll show you what Terra finds, then scope a proof of value on scans your mine has already taken.
