Surveying & Geoinformation

The surveying team at DMT works all over the world, carrying out specialised and control measurement surveys for the infrastructure, tunnelling and mining sectors. Our clients benefit from our many years of experience and confident hand in developing our own surveying equipment and instruments. Our highly qualified team is happy to assist you in solving and executing even the most complicated surveying tasks, including: 

• Determination of base grids
• High-precision terrestrial surveying
• Set up, review and refinement of project networks through GNSS measurements
• Consulting, design and development of concepts for complex survey tasks
• Accuracy forecasts for the selection of measuring equipment
• Control measurements
• Highest accuracy directional measurements
• Tacheometric surveys and traverse measurements
• 3D capture
• 3D calculations of mining subsidence, both static and dynamic
• Programming of databases with GIS user interfaces
• GPS measurements
• Tunnel orientation and surveying
• Determination of volumes and cross-sections
• Laser scanning & 3D models
• Satellite-based radar interferometry 

We are also qualified to deal with complex tasks and procedures in the area of special-purpose underground surveying: 

• Carrying out orientation measurement
• Dielectric measurement
• Shaft surveying
• 3D laser scanning to analyse performance & create a 3D model
• Monitoring

For example we calculate the complete reorientation of mines with a connection to the surface surveying grid by means of high-precision transfer of coordinates, scans, measurements and orientation from the base grid through mine shafts of up to any depth.  

With our one-of-a-kind kinematic shaft surveying systems we carry out geometric as well as photo-realistic documentation of shafts fast, safely and with utmost accuracy. Additionally we conduct surveys for mapping of non-accessible cavities, such as those found in abandoned mine workings or in karst areas, using specially developed borehole scanners. When it comes to detecting movements of the ground surface or slopes over extensive areas, we also offer satellite-based and terrestrial radar interferometry services. An added benefit is the deployment of our specially designed radar interferometers for use in opencast mines, ideal for monitoring the stability of any sloping surfaces.

The results from measurement, geological and geophysical surveys together with thematic maps and remote sensing data are compiled to create a uniform geodetic basis for evaluation.  

Both spatial and non-spatial data can be migrated, modelled, harmonised, and can be re-processed, and the import, analysis, transformation and visualisation of over 300 different data sources, such as GIS and CAD-data formats, web services, raster data and various databases can be realised. 

DMT offers the full service, from programming and set-up to operation of GIS software and systems aligned to handle your specific geo data and the issues of your project:

• Desktop version in the local network
• Mobile application
• Web-based GIS application 

DMT also provides a range of system support and hosting for public or internal geoportals. The performance of your web applications and the safe storage of your data is guaranteed by a state-of-the-art server architecture based on the ArcGIS server in the TÜV NORD data center.
