Project Overview
DCMS conducted a high-precision 3D laser scan of key tunnel sections within a major underground mining operation in La Libertad, Peru. The objective was to document existing spatial conditions for structural evaluation, ventilation upgrades, and safety system optimization. The deliverables served engineering, operations,and long-term infrastructure management teams.
Deliverables
High-Density Point Cloud Data: For detailed structural analysis and safety evaluations
Georeferenced Orthophotos: For planning ventilation, utilities, and access routes
Virtual Matterport Walkthrough: Allowing remote site assessment in hazardous environments
LiDAR Scan Deliverables: Providing accurate spatial data for future mining design and analysis
Our Role & Technology
DCMS used laser scanning and geospatial tech to digitize the tunnel network, helping detect deformation risks, optimize airflow, and guide future work. Tools Used:
Leica RTC360 for high-precision laser scanning.
Point cloud data processing,
TruView software for interactive virtual walkthroughs.
Key Challenges & Solutions
Low-visibility underground conditions: LiDAR captured precise geometry in confined spaces.
Safety and access limitations: All data was collected quickly with minimal crew exposure.
Future-proofing assets: The digital twin supports long-term planning and mine expansion studies.
