Features:
- Plan blasting using live, accurate data: Boreholes drilled don't always match the drilling plan, due to a range of factors. With Boretrak, the blast can be designed taking into account the true deviation of the holes rather than the intended, theoretical hole design.
- Reduce the risk of unsafe or inefficient blasts: with Boretrak, any problems in the drilling can be speedily flagged up.
- Use one system for a wide range of projects: the Rodded Boretrak allows uphole and downhole borehole measurement with a single tool.
- Work accurately, without the interference associated with compass-based systems: Rodded Boretrak does not use a magnetic compass so will not be affected by the heavy machinery; generators; ferrous metals in the rock; steel reinforcements and cabling found in an underground environment.
- Get a complete picture of underground structures: Boretrak data can be geo-referenced and fitted in to the mine's local co-ordinate system. This allows the data to be viewed in mine planning packages alongside other surveyed data.
- Deploy personnel more effectively. A 20m hole can be surveyed in a couple of minutes. The speed of the survey frees up underground personnel for other work.
A specialised, ruggedised instrument, Void Scanner+ uses time-of-flight laser measurement to map the shape, position and spatial location of voids, which helps ensure both the safety of personnel, and the protection of stock and underground sites.
Void Scanner+ data is used to ensure more efficient and profitable mineral extraction. With accurate, up-to-the minute site maps, you can better monitor progress, improve planning, reduce wastage, maximise extraction and speed up project timescales.
-
Enhance project capability
Now with multi-station project capability, Carlson Scan software enables you to scan from multiple locations and view the resulting scans together in real time for a complete 3D representation of the site. -
Minimise safety risks
Flexible deployment options and wireless communication mean operators can retreat to a position of safety and still view results during scanning. -
Improve site management
Use Void Scanner+ data to better monitor and control ore loss and dilution by comparing the scanned stope with the design data. Scans also provide a record of daily productivity to support decision making.

C-ALS grants access to concealed cavities
C-ALS cavity monitoring system can be used in a wide range of applications, where an inaccessible void exists and accurate data is required to monitor excavations, assess risk or design solutions.
Once deployed, C-ALS gives more detailed, accurate data than alternative technologies, such as ground-penetrating radar, and is the only borehole-deployable laser solution on the market.
- Plan new projects: Assess risk, design solutions based on accurate underground data, add C-ALS data to your existing maps and devise new programmes of work.
- Transform productivity: With accurate maps of voids, you can design plans, which allow for efficient mining or constructio projects.
- Improve safety: Map inaccessible underground areas to ensure operations keep employees safe.
Advantages of C-ALS laser scanning
The unique 50 mm diameter of C-ALS allows access to voids via narrow boreholes, which minimises scanner deployment time and cost. The 360° spherical coverage provides a full view from a single scan, with no blind spots. In addition, the C-ALS laser scanner also enables you to:
- use remote-control operation to survey potentially dangerous underground voids safely
- view the results of your scan in minutes, not days
- work safe in the knowledge that an IP67 rating gives you the confidence that C-ALS will operate in wet, humid and dusty conditions. It can also withstand submersion to a depth of 1 m, reducing the risk of damage if C-ALS is accidentally deployed into a flooded cavity.
The laser-scanning and measurement system of choice
Mines and quarries across the world have selected Carlson’s Quarryman Pro laser-scanning and measurement system, whose features include:
- easy one-man operation with minimal training
- safe, long-range or short-range reflectorless surveying for blast planning, stockpile measurement and whole site mapping, providing an excellent return on investment
- datasets compatible with industry-standard blast-design and mine-mapping software package
Carlson’s new Quarryman Pro builds on over 20 years experience of delivering laser-scanning solutions to the quarrying industry worldwide. It’s our most robust system yet and is designed to offer mine and quarry managers the following benefits:
- Improved safety: Plan safer blasts based on accurate data to protect workers and the local environment, and keep you legally compliant.
- Increased profitability: Blast planning using Quarryman Pro helps cut the cost of transport hire and fuel, explosives and secondary breakage.
- Improved productivity: Calculate stockpile volume quickly to produce fast and accurate material stock valuations.
Quarryman Pro provides greater benefits than ever before
Quarryman Pro has been the must-have on-site system for quarries for over two decades. The original Quarryman – and subsequent models – transformed on-site safety and enabled our customers to modify their processes simply and swiftly to improve post-blast workflow and minimise costs.
The new Quarryman Pro from Carlson offers the following new features:
- The new larger sun-readable screen for better visibility is also now in full colour.
- Data is saved to a USB, rather than a flashcard, for ease of data transfer, and to enable you to hold many more files.
- A GPS mount is built into the handle so that the Quarryman Pro can be geopositioned quickly, and easily map point cloud data to other quarry surveys.
- Fewer clicks for each operation greatly enhances the speed with which you can work.
- Auto date and time stamping helps you to find files without needing to enter details.
- The battery issues a warning when low, but shuts down automatically if not recharged,retaining your data for retrieval later.
- The new Li-ion battery is not only lighter, but also provides a longer scan time.
- Both the operating temperature and processing power of the system have been increased.
