Mining Environmental Assessment & Compliance Monitoring

We conduct precise Mining Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and ongoing compliance monitoring by creating a high-fidelity 3D digital twin of the site using our AIMS Multi-sensor Aerial Survey System. Our Swift4D platform performs multi-temporal analysis to automatically detect changes in vegetation health, water quality, and land stability. This provides auditable data for regulatory reporting, closure planning, and sustainable operation, ensuring adherence to environmental standards.

We bridge the critical gap between mining operational demands and environmental stewardship, delivering a data-driven foundation for responsible resource extraction. By integrating our proprietary AIMS Multi-Sensor Aerial System with Swift4D Analytics Platform and AI-powered insights, we drive a paradigm shift from reactive, manual inspections to a predictive, continuous monitoring model. This approach empowers mining companies and regulators to proactively mitigate environmental impacts, ensure strict compliance, optimize closure planning, and safeguard ecological and social licenses to operate—all through transparent, verifiable data that underpins sustainable mining practices.

Our Differentiated Solution Framework

1. High-Fidelity Baseline & Impact Quantification

A credible environmental management system begins with an accurate, measurable baseline. Traditional methods often rely on outdated maps or incomplete datasets, limiting impact assessment accuracy.

The AIMS Multi-Sensor Advantage:

Our proprietary AIMS system captures synchronized high-resolution RGB, multispectral, thermal, and LiDAR data in a single mission, generating a centimeter-accurate 3D Digital Twin of the site before operations commence.

Quantifiable Environmental Metrics:

This digital twin establishes definitive pre-mining conditions for topography, vegetation health (NDVI), surface hydrology, and land cover, creating a legally defensible benchmark for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and future change tracking.

Continuous Multi-Temporal Analysis:

Through regular aerial surveys and the Swift4D platform, we automate change detection over time, precisely measuring volumetric extraction, stockpile growth, deforestation, and landform evolution—supporting transparent progress and impact reporting.2. AI-Powered Compliance & Illegal Activity Surveillance

2. AI-Driven Compliance Surveillance & Unauthorized Activity Detection

Manual monitoring is inefficient, inconsistent, and often inadequate for large or remote mining concessions, increasing compliance risk and potential liabilities.

Automated Boundary & Depth Control:

Our SwiftAI algorithm suite continuously compares the latest site digital twin against the permitted geofenced concession area and approved mine plans. It automatically flags over-boundary mining, over-depth extraction, and other spatial violations in near real-time.

Continuous Operational Auditing:

The system provides persistent oversight, detecting unauthorized infrastructure, off-plan waste disposal, and other permit breaches—generating an immutable digital audit trail for internal and regulatory review.

From Reactive to Preventive Compliance:

This enables a shift from a “detect and penalize” approach to a “prevent and correct” model, allowing timely intervention before violations escalate.

3. Proactive Environmental & Geohazard Monitoring

Mining activities can alter terrain stability and affect surrounding ecosystems. Early detection is key to preventing environmental incidents and ensuring long-term site integrity.

Ecosystem Health Surveillance:

We track key indicators such as vegetation stress, dust emission spread, and water quality changes around the mine site, delivering data for environmental management plans, community reporting, and ESG disclosures.

Slope Stability & Ground Deformation Monitoring:

Using sequential LiDAR and InSAR data, our platform performs millimeter-level deformation analysis on critical infrastructure including tailings dams, pit slopes, and waste dumps. This supports early-warning systems and proactive geotechnical risk management.

Unified Risk Intelligence Dashboard:

All environmental, safety, and stability metrics are visualized in an integrated dashboard, enabling prioritized action and demonstrating operational due diligence to regulators and stakeholders.
