Increased Safety
The whole face can be photographed and mapped from a safe distance.
Fast & Easy To Use
Take photos easily and rapidly with only 2 days of training and basic digital camera knowledge required.
Highly Accurate
Precise and accurate scaling, positional and angular measurements for reliable geotechnical analysis.
Sirovision
Advanced Geological & Geotechnical Mapping Analysis
Sirovision is developed in collaboration between Datamine and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). It allows for the remote and safe capture of geological and geotechnical features while avoiding costly disruption to production activities. Mapping of both geological and geotechnical features is supported, along with automatic recognition of mineralogy. Further analysis tools for wedge detection and slope stability provide valuable inputs to geotechnical support designs and for identifying safety hazards in open pits and underground environments.

Sirovision Highlight Features
Geological Mapping in 3D
Quickly map geology and structure across continuous mosaics of 3D images meaning entire drives, including the back wall, side walls and end wall can be mapped and analysed all at the same time. Both 3D mosaic images and mapped features with their geotechnical characteristics can be exported to file formats that are compatible with most other major mining software packages including Datamine Studio, Surpac, Vulcan and Minesight.
Stereo Plots, Rose Plots, Contour Plots
Work with stereo plot analysis sets whilst visualising physical structures simultaneously on a 3D image. For example, you can select a discontinuity on a stereo plot which highlights it on the 3D image. From this 3D image, you can then view coordinate values and real-world spatial location for the discontinuity. Simultaneously, you can view dip/dip direction and trend/plunge values for the same discontinuity on the spherical projection.
Latest Software Update
Sirovision 6.2
The importation of drone derived models significantly increases safety on-site, keeping personnel away from rock faces, heavy machinery and high walls.

What Our Customers Say About Us

"The use of Sirovison has helped us in reducing the time in the collection of geotechnical information, analysis and interpretation, as well as contributing to security issues in areas difficult to reach in the banks. The software is friendly which makes its handling simple."
William Mendoza
Ingeniero Geotecnico, Antapaccay, April 2017

"Sirovision has been great for us at the Kevitsa Operation as it has allowed us to safely collect high quality mapping data which would not otherwise be possible. We cannot have our people mapping within close proximity of the pit walls – the risk of rock fall is too great. We now safely collect accurate, real-space mapping data for modelling from all our production faces and pit walls. We are super happy with the system and the support we receive."
Jani Kalla
Chief Geologist, Boliden Kevitsa, quoted April 2017

"Our open pit mine has made a major safety improvement by using Sirovision geotechnical scale (window) mapping technique, which has provided more accurate reflection of true fracturing on slope faces. Increased recorded statistical fracture population has resulted better archiving of slope faces. Number of mapping has appx. 50% increased without compromising safety and quality."
Serdar Ergun
Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Kisladag Mine, Eldorado Gold Corporation, quoted April 2017

"To date I have been finding the accuracy well within our needs and as we are using Sirovision in cycle (every exposed bench ) we are getting within centimeters of check points regularly and the survey I-site scans and Sirovision mirror each other very well."
Nick Spanswick
Senior Mine Geologist, Filminera Resources Corporation

"Following all the updates on Sirovision, it has incredibly helped AngloGold Ashanti-Geita Gold Mine to correctly map all critical and nasty structures in our active pits from both accessible and inaccessible exposed structures and understand how they are sitting against the pit slope, at which by modeling them a level of confidence to all consecutive open pit design is increased through Sirovision data, potentially a right decision is made to maintain or add more value to the company."
Martine Hamisi
Senior Geotechnical Engineer, Geita Gold Mining, quoted April 2017

"Sirovision has optimized burden and spacing planning for blasting holes planning and improved rock fragmentation through proper understanding of discontinuities and localized rock mass characterization for Buzwagi open pit. Geotechnical mapping using Sirovision at Nyabirama pit has improved understanding of the structural model by clear understanding of all significant geological discontinuities hence optimizing various engineering and mine development projects."
Elias Mtibilo
Engineering Geologist, Acacia Mining PLC, quoted April 2017

"The quality of the information is a lot better using Sirovision mapping. With [Sirovision] you can see things that you wouldn’t be able to see if your standing 5 meters away to stay clear of unsupported ground."
