Engineering Services

Improve decision-making and overall operational efficiencies by integrating your site data.

Tailored Engineering Solutions

Firmatek offers a variety of engineering services to the mining, construction, landfill and solid waste, and electric utilities industries. Data capture can be performed on a number of features like mechanical structures, building facades and earthwork projects for geotechnical analysis and to record as-built condition assessments. Capturing geospatial data at intervals throughout the length of projects ensures accurate data tracking and assists in reducing potential contract disputes.

Deliverables

service-engineering-deliverables-cut-fill

Cut & Fill Calculations

Knowing the volume of material that has to be removed or delivered for a project is critical for preliminary planning, scheduling and cost estimation.

Geospatial data capture provides a fast, safe and highly accurate means of gathering data of the existing conditions. Digital files can be delivered directly to the client, or used to calculate volumes in-house.

service-engineering-deliverables-overburden

Overburden Volumentrics

Whether you’re a mining company using a contractor for overburden removal or the contractor moving dirt, money changes hands based on the amount of dirt moved. Using an independent and accurate third party gives everyone confidence in the numbers. We scan the areas before, during and after a contract to verify the amount of dirt moved. With this data, we can calculate volumes, track changes, and provide you with before and after overlay images.

service-engineering-deliverables-change-detection

Change Detection

Collecting high-density spatial data is a more accurate method than single-point surveying for monitoring changes in the earth’s surface. Valleys, troughs, toes and crests are captured in much higher detail. Our advanced data capture technology is a faster and safer means of field mapping.

service-engineering-deliverables-drainage-study

Drainage Studies

An accurate hydraulic model always starts with the right existing topography. Whether it’s undeveloped land, a highly disturbed area or natural drainage paths, we capture, contour and deliver the data that builds your model.

service-engineering-geotechnical-analysis-2

Geotechnical Analysis

Using 3D mapping techniques, rock walls at mines and quarries can be examined in-depth. Ground-based LiDAR data capture and the resulting 3D models provide information about geologic discontinuities and aid in the analysis of safety, efficiency and the mine planning process.
service-engineering-deliverables-as-builts

Detailed As-Builts

High resolution laser scanners are used to create 3D point clouds that represent a highly accurate and detailed “as-built” of an area or object. Data points can be captures on mechanical features such as equipment and on structures. Topographic data capture can be performed to record the as-built condition of earthwork projects such as ponds, dams, levees, berms and areas where stripping has been completed.
