It's a set of decisions often made at the beginning of each shift verbally on which locations to prioritize and what to capture. When the plan is clear, the capture is efficient and the record stays coherent. When it's not, the field team is forced to fill in gaps, and make up new processes as they go.
Most underground trip plans are made on paper or verbally, then rely on individual geologists or engineers to execute on the plan consistently underground. Headings become unavailable or production changes as a geologists and engineers are underground. The gap between the plan and execution is never documented.
Three stages. Two products. One connected workflow from face to decision.
In Strata, define site-specific attributes: classification frameworks (Q, RMR, GSI), feature types, annotation layers, survey marker references, round-naming conventions.
Create locations by zone, level, chainages, and rounds to establish consistent naming conventions. Favourite frequently visited locations, or locations that need to be monitored over time.
Field devices setup based on the site-specific configuration. The mapper opens Lithos and the conventions and locations are ready to go.
Site-specific configuration and location setup is created in Strata. Lithos is where the plan is deployed, to maximize the impact of trips underground.
A data capture program with consistent naming conventions, complete attribution, and easy to deploy iPads across individuals and teams.
Data captured in Lithos flows directly into the Grounded platform, where teams can review conditions, generate reports, and align on decisions.
Walk through planning with your project conventions in mind.
