Gradient Profile

Grade per segment, from the drone DSM

The digital surface model gives the true elevation of every 100 m of haul road. The AI converts it to effective grade and flags every segment steeper than the 1:16 design standard. Steeper grades burn more fuel, brakes and tyres on every single trip.

The anatomy of a great haul road

Every Drone Survey flight produces a digital twin of the mine. From it, the AI extracts the four measurements of every haul road: centerline, width, crossfall and grade. It checks them against design standards, flight after flight.
