Blast Optimization

Borehole Surveys

Wide-Area Mapping

Thermal Imaging & LiDAR

Infrared Analysis

Thermal
Imaging &
Infrared Analysis

Our drone’s thermal sensitivity enhances GCS’s safety practices by enabling us to scan the blast area for humans and clear them using the onboard speakers. Additionally, we can send the drones to thermally scan post-blast to identify hotter-burning areas prior to personnel entering for the post-blast sweep.

Blast Profiling & Blast
Design Optimization

Our advanced profiling system enables us to assess highwalls to optimize blast design and automatically generate drill patterns.

Borehole
Surveys

Our software uses the latest technology to provide contact-free Face Profiling and Borehole Survey Service, incorporating borehole surveys to calculate accurate minimum burden profiles.

Magazine Silo
Surveillance

Our drone’s enhanced thermal imaging, combined with UHR infrared imaging and laser rangefinders, can detect human signatures and provide precise locations, providing an additional security layer around GCS-managed magazine silos.

FAA Licensed
Commercial Pilots

Our drone operators are commercially FAA-licensed, and the GCS program is overseen by an Airline Transport Pilot and an FAA examiner to ensure compliance with all FAA airspace regulations.
