Open pit mining

Profiles & Volumes for Open Pit Mining
"P&M Coal currently uses labor intensive methods to calculate the volume of coal and material that is mined from its open pit coal mine in Kemmerer, Wyoming. In the current method, a surveyor walks along the top and bottom of the mine wall to collet 3D points." The case study goes on to compare traditional pit mining surveying with 3D laser scanning, listing all of the benefits of this new technology in open pit mining.
