We provide precise data to enable a spatial foundation that stakeholders and consultants can use to support strategic decision-making from the outset. Our tailored reports help unlock the full potential of your mining asset, enabling you to approach the feasibility and planning phases with clarity and confidence.
Feasibility & Planning
Reliable, fit-for-purpose datasets are critical for determining the feasibility of mining projects. Our data provides stakeholders and consultants with clear insights into what is achievable, practical, and cost-effective, reducing uncertainty and mitigating risks as you progress towards development.
Design
We support the design phase by delivering accurate, precise data that stakeholders and consultants can use to assess layouts and identify challenges early. From underground utility locating to SMP (structural, mechanical, and piping) components, our data ensures designs are robust and achievable, helping to streamline the transition into construction and fabrication.
Construction & Fabrication
Our comprehensive suite of services supports mining projects of all scales. By leveraging advanced digital data and dimensional control techniques, we minimise rework, optimise performance, and reduce the need for repetitive onsite visits or physical trial assemblies, keeping projects on track and on budget.
In Operation
During the operational phase, our spatial data provides a robust foundation for ongoing asset management. Stakeholders and consultants can use this data to support maintenance, sustainability initiatives, and ESG compliance. Our expertise enables the development of digital twins and other tools that maximise long-term value and operational efficiency.
Supporting Asset Renewal
RM Surveys’ spatial foundation also plays a critical role in the asset renewal process. By delivering accurate, up-to-date as-built data, we provide stakeholders with the insights needed to assess existing infrastructure and plan for upgrades, refurbishment, or repurposing. This ensures renewal projects are well-informed, efficient, and aligned with operational goals, extending the lifecycle of your mining assets while reducing downtime and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mine tenant survey?
A mine tenant survey typically refers to the documentation of a mine's boundaries, ownership, or leasehold agreements. It may also involve periodic surveys to confirm compliance with lease terms or operational boundaries.
How does RM Surveys ensure accuracy in challenging mining environments?
Our team has extensive experience working in harsh and remote mining locations. We use cutting-edge equipment and rigorous quality control processes to ensure accuracy and reliability, even in the most challenging conditions.
Can RM Surveys assist with compliance and regulatory requirements in mining?
Yes, RM Surveys ensures that all mine tenant surveys comply with industry regulations, including safety, environmental, and legal standards. Our services help you meet ESG, HSEQ, and other governmental policies while maintaining operational efficiency.
How does RM Surveys support large-scale mining projects?
We tailor our mine survey services to meet the specific needs of large-scale mining operations. From exploration to site development and operational expansion, our precise mine surveying data supports informed decision-making, helping you stay on schedule and under budget.
How does Dimensional Control and Metrology benefit mining projects?
Dimensional control and metrology provide precise, high-accuracy measurements to verify critical components during fabrication, installation, or maintenance. This helps identify errors early, reduce costly rework, and ensure that equipment, structures, and piping are installed to exact specifications, minimising downtime.
How does RM Surveys support Structural, Mechanical, and Piping (SMP) installations?
RM Surveys delivers accurate survey data to assist with the alignment, positioning, and verification of SMP components. By providing precise measurements and fitment data, we help ensure seamless installations, reduce errors during assembly, and optimise project schedules.
Why is accurate spatial data critical during the construction phase of a mining project?
Accurate spatial data forms the backbone of construction projects, ensuring alignment with design specifications and minimising discrepancies. RM Surveys’ advanced technologies, including 3D laser scanning and data visualisation, provide a reliable single point of truth, reducing rework and project delays.
Can RM Surveys help with asset lifecycle management and renewal?
Yes. RM Surveys supports mining operations across the asset lifecycle, from initial construction to operational maintenance and asset renewal. Our spatial foundation provides valuable data for stakeholders and consultants to assess existing infrastructure, plan upgrades, and extend asset lifespans efficiently and cost-effectively.
What are the benefits of using RM Surveys throughout a project’s lifecycle?
By engaging RM Surveys early and maintaining our involvement throughout a project’s lifecycle, you benefit from consistent, reliable data that acts as a single source of truth. This repeatable data ensures greater accuracy, improves stakeholder collaboration, minimises rework, and supports long-term decision-making for operational success.
