BLASTING PERSONNEL TRACKING

GTRACK: BLASTER’S ROUTE IS TRACKED AND DOCUMENTED IN FLIGHT TO CHECK THAT HE HAS DONE A PROPER CLEARANCE OF THE BLAST RADIUS

GTRACK: THE DRONE FLIES THE RADIUS AND THIS IS DOCUMENTED AND THIS CREATES A GEOFENCE SO NO PERSON CAN ENTER BLAST RADIUS

GTRACK: THE GUARDS ARE TRACKED AND DOCUMENTED TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE POSITIONED CORRECTLY AND ALL ENTRIES TO BLAST RADIUS ARE CLOSED OFF

SURVEYING AND 3D MAPPING

The use of UAVs for the purpose of obtaining fast and accurate

measurements has risen drastically over the past few years. Until recently,

ground surveying was the standard method for determining the volume of

mining material stockpiles. However, due to the increased efficiency and

safety of aerial surveying; mining appears to be one of many industries to

benefit significantly from this technology.

Current problems we face in the industry today:

• Accuracy of stockpile information

• High cost implications of old photogrammetric processes

• Constant moving environment effects the volumetric readings

• Time consuming

BenefitsThe quality of results are crucial to the current

industry, by delivering just that, these methods are easily adopted to current operations. The

photogrammetric approach are equivalent in accuracy to current GNSS RTK survey methods. Time is crucial

and with the increased surveying speed, it gives away to more frequent measurements, therefore cost

saving decisions are made before it becomes crucial. The surveyor now has the ability to cover a greater

area than what has been achieved beforehand. Most importantly, safety is crucial, aerial surveying

significantly decreases the time spent on surveying and navigating the stockpiles and excavation areas by

foot.

Solutions we Offer

• Accurate stockpile volume readings

• Point cloud generation

• 3D modelling

• Orthophoto generation

OUR OFFERING SURVEY AND ENVIRONMENTAL



• Volume Calculations and reporting

• High definition 3D models

SECURITY SURVEILANCE

• Assistance to current security companies through live feed

information on parameter patrol and suspect tracking.

With the use of night vision cameras to easily identify

trespassers and suspicious activity during night time. With

a fully equipped ground control station

• The advantage will be:

• The surveillance services are timesaving, troops on the

ground now have live feedback on the location of the

suspects, thus giving them more time to react and also

increases the success rate of the specific task.

• • Thermal inspection has the ability to pin out trespassers.

• • Border patrol is executed quicker than before.

• • Night time is an issue of the past. With thermal

cameras miscreants are easily seen from above.

• • The aircraft acts as a major deterrent.

problems in the industry today:

• Stolen resources = loss in revenue

• Sabotage = loss in production time

• Night time decreases visibility whilst tracking down miscreants

• Armed intruders pose a safety hazard to security forces

• Corruption are the driving force behind criminality

The solution we have to offer:

• Day and night surveillance

• Border monitoring and perimeter control

• Thermal inspections to identify trespassers

• Real time video and location feedback during operations

• Following direct orders from security management to perform specific tasks

• Tracking suspects on the chase

• Identifying and reporting any suspicious activity during operations to management

• Assistance while planning and executing security operations

PIT AND OTHER AREAS INSPECTIONS

• Pit inspections and rehabilitation area inspections now give you a birds eye view

with unmanned crafts, to inspect and document progress made and problem areas,

it can also assist in future planning and preventing costly decision making mistakes.

Pit surveys can also be performed to create a 3D map of your Pit or Rehabilitation

area.

STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS

• Time consuming inspections of your crucial

running equipment is a thing of the past with

areal inspections of this equipment identifying

problems can be instant, the efficacy of

speeding up inspections by use of UAV’S

means fault finding and fixing can occur

sooner and loss of time and production is

minimized greatly and cost saving is sure. It

also has the added prospect of increasing

safe operations by removing the Human factor

from these inspections. FLIR camera technology

can detect temperatures on conveyor belt

bearings etc.

THERMAL FLIR IMAGING

THERMAL INDUSTRIAL INSPECTIONS

Safe, accurate and efficient aerial thermal imaging

inspection and survey services require specialised high-

end thermal cameras with experienced pilots. Vidblast

provides a comprehensive aerial thermal imaging

service for asset inspection, survey and mapping using

our industrial drone inspection system.

• THERMAL INSPECTION SERVICES

• Stockpile inspections – contamination/hot spot identification and

mapping

• Stockpile Thermal Inspection can immediately detect abnormal

temperatures of the coal which may indicate spontaneous

combustion, making use of regular inspections this can assist in

decision making and shifting of stockpiles before major losses to

stock occur.

• Electrical FacilitiesSubstations, high voltage towers, cell towers and power

generation facilities are perfect candidates for drone deployed

FLIR thermal imagery. While maintaining safe distances we can

visualize, geo-tag and quantify thermal anomalies.

• POWER LINE INSPECTIONS

• One of the many uses of aerial thermography is in preventing

fires that occur as a result from failures in power lines.

• By detecting weak points in the transmission and distribution

network, which is a highly complex system of lines of

interconnecting electric energy sources, drones equipped with

thermal imaging systems can identify problem areas before a

breakdown or fire happens and prevent the fire from happening.

• Other Structures that benefit from thermal data:

• Roof inspections (leaks)

• Power line Inspections

• Building Insulation Inspections

OUR OFFERING INTEGRATION

• Supply of integration software packages

• Training on selected software packages

• Create a server on which data is store stored and accessed ( client

requirements for Drone pilots to operate legally

• All pilots must by law have a legal Multi rotor of fixed wing

pilot’s licence issued by CAA

• All entities need to have a valid ROC (RPAS Operators

Certificate)

• The ROC also has specific Conditions for example not all ROC
