Cavity Monitoring System (CMS) mount


Rapid high-definition mapping for hard-to-access voids

Hovermap captures highly detailed and accurate 3D data in less than a third of the time of traditional Cavity Monitoring System (CMS) methods, making it ideal for hard-to-reach underground voids where drone use isn’t feasible. A stope can be scanned in 1-2 minutes, producing a high density point cloud with minimal shadowing, all without the need for multiple setups. Simply attach Hovermap to a CMS boom or pole for rapid data collection that allows for more accurate volume calculations and geotechnical structure mapping, helping improve mine engineering processes and decision-making. The quick setup and scanning time also reduces operator exposure to hazardous areas, enhancing safety.

Unlike traditional CMS, which requires stationary operation, Hovermap can be moved during scanning, providing better coverage per scan and greater flexibility. The entire process takes a fraction of the time while still delivering dense, high-definition 3D data that provides a more accurate representation of the stope. Its lightweight form and simplicity of operation requires only one operator, further boosting efficiency. The versatile plug-and-play unit can also be deployed on multiple platforms, offering additional use cases and maximizing return on investment.
