3D Modeling in Geological Surveys

Three-dimensional (3D) modeling is revolutionizing geological surveys by offering detailed visualizations of subsurface formations. Tools like geological survey drill rigs are integral to creating accurate models.

Creating 3D Models

The process involves collecting drilling data, processing it with software, and rendering it into 3D visualizations.

• Exploration coring drill rigs: Provide core samples that are analyzed for geological modeling.
• Portable full-hydraulic core drilling rigs: Enable precise data collection, essential for model accuracy.

Benefits of 3D Models

3D geological models improve resource estimation and project planning. By visualizing the spatial distribution of minerals, they help minimize drilling errors.

Innovations in 3D Modeling

Recent advancements include the use of drones for data collection and AI-driven modeling software, enhancing the precision of models generated from mineral core sampling rigs.
