Laserplot understands harsh underground environments — and builds practical, field-ready survey systems and clear reporting outputs for the people who keep mines safe and productive.

Capabilities

What we deliver underground.

Ventilation shaft scanning

Full-profile LiDAR capture of ventilation shafts — bore, ovality and wall condition along the entire depth.

Convergence monitoring

Repeat scans compared over time to track deformation and convergence in drives, shafts and excavations.

Shaft condition assessment

Defects, deviation and structural change identified against the as-scanned geometry for engineering review.

Underground asset inspection

LiDAR and HD video inspection of underground assets where access is tight and entry is restricted.

Automated shaft reporting

Structured reports generated from the point cloud — consistent, repeatable, and built for asset decisions.

Custom deployment systems

Purpose-built rigs for difficult underground environments where standard equipment can't be deployed.

Hoisting systems

Portable hoisting, engineered in-house.

We manufacture portable hoisting units purpose-built for ventilation shaft scanning — winch-deployed systems that lower live-scanning LiDAR down a shaft and capture a continuous profile without sending anyone below.

The rig pairs a controlled-payout winch with onboard SLAM LiDAR, so depth is tracked against the scan and the full shaft is captured in a single descent. It's built for the field: rugged, transportable, and designed around real site access.
