Revolutionise Mining

Exploration & Targeting

• DEM / DSM / DTM — base surfaces for terrain interpretation, structure mapping & access planning.
  Products:
  DEMSA2 L1 (2 m DEM),
  DEMSA2 L2 (DSM), DEMSA2 L3 (DTM),
  SUDEM5 (5 m), SRTM 90 m
• Viewshed / Line-of-Sight — plan drill pads, comms and lookout points; anticipate terrain shadowing.
  Products: Viewshed service (from DEM/DSM).

Mine Planning & Earthworks

• Slope (Gradient %) / Aspect / Curvature / Roughness — derivatives for pit wall screening, road grades and bench/platform design.
  Products: DEM derivatives (DEMSA2/SUDEM).
• Contours — design-grade control and quantity checks; options available in 50 cm increments.
  Products: Contours from DEMSA2 L3
• Long-profiles — grade and turning checks for haul and access roads.
  Products: Profile tools using DEMSA2/SUDEM

Water & Tailings Risk

• FHI (Flood Hazard Index) — composite inundation susceptibility for pits, plants and tailings footprints.
  Products: FHI
• HAND (Height Above Nearest Drainage) — terrain normalised by height to the channel network; flags low-lying, flood-susceptible areas and potential overtopping corridors downstream of TSFs.
  Products: HAND (from DEMSA2/SUDEM).
• TWI (Topographic Wetness Index) — terrain-driven wetness potential for siting pads, waste-rock dumps and haul roads away from saturation zones.
  Products: TWI (from DEMSA2/SUDEM).
• Flow Direction & Flow Accumulation — trace drainage paths and upslope contributing areas for culverts, diversions and TSF downstream routing.
  Products: Hydrology suite (DEM derivatives).
• Model-ready DTM & DSM — high-resolution terrain inputs for 1D/2D inundation modelling and consequence assessments.
  Products: DEMSA2 L3 (DTM) / DEMSA2 L2 (DSM).

Exposure & Compliance

• Proximity to Water — distances to rivers (perennial/non-perennial), natural/artificial waterbodies, wetlands and the coast for buffers, setbacks and permitting.
  Products: Distance-to-water suites
• Catchments & Stream Order Network — watershed context and channel hierarchy for TSF siting and downstream consequence mapping.
  Products: Catchment delineations; Stream Order Network
• Land-cover & Protected Areas — SANLC 2018; SAPAD/PACA overlays for environmental compliance and offset planning.
  Products: SANLC 2018 Land Cover, Protected/Conservation Areas

Rehabilitation & Post-Mining Land Use

• Irrigation Suitability — multi-criteria suitability classes (Unsuitable → Excellent) for post-mining agricultural reuse.
  Products: Irrigation Suitability layer
• Soil Potential — expected moisture-holding and fertility capacity for revegetation success.
  Products: Soil Potential
• Majority Soil Type & Geology — dominant soil and bedrock context to guide cover design and slope stability treatments.
  Products: Majority Soil Type; SA Geology

Logistics, Safety & Context

• Road networks & profiles — haul and access optimisation, turning/grade checks and flood-risk low points.
  Products: Roads layer + profiles (DEMSA2/SUDEM).
• Admin boundaries/cadastre — permitting, reporting and claims overlays.
  Products: Admin/Cadastre packs
• API & CAD-ready delivery — live portal/API plus GIS & CAD formats for engineering workflows.
  Products: GeoSmart API / Portal / CAD deliverables.
