Geological Mapping Case Study
Surface Mapping
Background and Objectives
The client is a leading exploration company based in Australia and has executed several projects in North America and Australia. The client is a geosciences and technology based Exploration Company that has developed an innovative business model that applies geosciences, intellectual and technological capabilities for a new generation approach to sub-surface exploration around the globe that increases the rate of discovery in projects. The aim is to provide the industry with the next generation of quality projects.
Key Aspects of the Project
- Two types of projects were executed, namely, surface and trench - factual and interpretive mapping and underground geology mapping.
- The projects were a part of a regional study conducted by the client, involving digital data compilation and regional/ terrain scale geological modeling.
Services Rendered and Methodology
-
Trench and Surface Mapping : Factual and Interpretive
Scans in jpeg format and AutoCAD files were used as input data.
The scope of the work involved the following:
- Registering of scans
- Importing to MicroStation, scaling and layerization of linework
- Polygonising and color filling
- Point placement
- Exporting to MapInfo and attribution
- Appending files into a final file for both MicroStation and MapInfo
Deliverables
- String, point and polygon files in .DGN format
- String, point and polygon files in MapInfo format
-
Underground Geology Mapping
Scans with map bound in jpeg format were used as input data.
The scope of work involved the following activities:
- Registering of scans using the map bound provided and ensuring that the corners correspond to the corners on the scans.
- Digitizing and line capture as per pre-defined criteria
- Polygon creation and layerization
- Exporting to MapInfo and attribution.
Deliverables
- String, point and polygon files in .DGN format
- MapInfo files for each after data capture and polygon creation
Tools used:
- MicroStation
- MapInfo
About Magnasoft
During the past decade, our economic reality has undergone a dramatic
transformation and a fundamental shift. After years of economic expansion
fueled by unrealistic rates of consumption and unsustainable levels of
private debt, the global economy has reset at a lower baseline level of
activity. Today, people borrow less, save more, and spend with much greater
caution. This is the new normal and it will be with us for some time to
come. The issue now is how to respond!!!
At Magnasoft, we look at this phenomenon as a transformation that will
change the way we experience the world and share our experiences with
others. It's a transformation in which the barriers between technologies
will fall away so we can connect to people and information no matter where
we are. It's a transformation where new innovations will shorten the path
from inspiration to accomplishment.
Magnasoft combines the power of GIS, LiDAR, mapping, photogrammetry and
other geospatial technologies with extensive subject matter expertise to
implement powerful GIS solutions that integrate seamlessly with the IT
framework of organizations. From GIS Data capture and GIS data development,
