3D laser scanning services were used on the Kimberly site to
monitor the dirt wall slopes. They could use this technology to determine
whether or not any of the walls were about to give way in the mine pit. That is
not the only use for it either. 3D laser scanning services can also measure
volume of dirt piles. A 3D laser scan can tell engineers how much waste dirt us
piled up to know how much they have dug. The Kimberly mine is a big one. It is
one huge man-made pit for digging out the treasures of the earth. It is no
small operation either. It has produced millions of carats of diamonds, too. It
is so big that many people like to stop by to look at it.
Of course that is not all that they use 3D laser scanning
services for, as I mentioned above. 3D laser scanning is a good and efficient
way to measure the volume of a pile of dirt. Once they have sifted through a
section, then all of that dirt must be moved out of the way. They can use 3D
laser scanning services technology to measure the volume of the dirt to gauge
their progress. This saves them tons of money that they would have spent on
other equipment and work hours. 3D laser scanning is fast and is an incredibly
accurate way to get the job done. There is no guess work. Everything is scanned
into digital form and can then be calculated using computer software.
