Minserve prides itself on the high standard of cartography, drafting and presentation material that is provided to clients. All work is done in-house by cartographers with extensive experience in the resource and mining sectors, results of which can be seen in any Minserve report. The drafting section is a support service to each Minserve member and also provides presentation material to clients in its own right.
Minserve cartographers rely on a wide and diverse range of software to support the work they undertake. Most of the cartographic output is from Autocad Civil3d, though Mapinfo GIS is also used for spatial data sets requiring thematic maps, ranging from coal quality plots to landholder and mining tenure maps. As well as graphic design packages being utilised for the production of high quality volume runs of documents such as EIS submissions, Vulcan is also used to model and create surfaces for water management and volume measurements.
Every aspect of mine planning and operations can be represented in a uniquely tailored map to suit the subject matter, be it environmental analysis, geological exploration, or opencut mine stage plans. New developments in CAD 3d visualisation will allow clients to fully understand and plan the development of their greenfield deposit or existing operation.
