Mining test pit survey

Mining test pit survey

Client: Thessally Resources


Dual frequency bathymetric survey

Thessally Resources are undertaking exploration drilling and bulk testing within the existing Huandot Pit, located approximately 85km south of Darwin.


The existing Huandot Pit contains surface water and groundwater inflows and had been sedentary.


Rise was engaged to undertake a bathymetric survey of the test pit surface water to provide Thessally with comprehensive water volume and sedimentation modelling.  



Rise used dual frequency analysis to measure both the sediment and rock bed depths to provide a comparative analysis of sediment depth variations.


The analysis used dual frequency bathmetric survey data, XYZ coordinate date and water surface level measurement using a USV (unmanned surface vehicle).


Deliverables:

-Water volume report

-Sediment report

-Interactive visual model.

We are so proud to have our investment into the development of a tropical bathymetric USV (unmanned service vehicle) secure matched funding from Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre Ltd. Current wastewater survey methods are often not fit-for-purpose for the waste water conditions in tropical Northern Australia - high debris loads and organic matter.
