Four Challenges in Mine Construction

Dispersed work areas and multiple contractors create shared challenges in progress verification, document coordination and project handover.

Discuss your site requirements

Dispersed Sites, Limited Visibility

Pits, processing plants and supporting works cover large areas, making site information difficult to review together.

Plans and Site Progress Are Disconnected

Separate schedule tasks and construction records make progress verification time-consuming.

Scattered Documents and Versions

Drawings and files circulate across organizations, making revisions and review history difficult to trace.

Handover Records Left Until Completion

Documents not collected during construction create a large organization task at project completion.

Manage 3D Scenes and Construction Work Together

Use the BlackHole 3D Graphics Engine for engineering scenes and the Nebula AI 3D Digital Foundation Platform to organize engineering objects, construction activities and process records.

  • Scenes and Objects

    Link models, spatial locations, object IDs and engineering documents.

  • Workflows and Permissions

    Organize queries, records and collaboration around workflows and role permissions.

Project Overview
Navigate the Mine and Locate Every Work Area

Combine mine terrain, design models and reality capture. Browse by work area, discipline and priority facility, moving from the overall layout to workshops, structures and equipment installation areas.

  • Integrate Multiple Scene Sources

    Combine BIM, GIS, oblique imagery and scans to show roads, plants, structures and main facilities.

  • Area and Object Navigation

    Find work areas and objects with location, visibility, sectioning and property queries.

  • Reuse Key Viewpoints

    Save viewpoints of priority areas for daily coordination, design discussions and progress reports.

Construction Progress
Compare Plans, Reports and Actual Work

Link schedules and field reports to BIM components to review planned work, actual completion and deviations visually.

  • Project Scheduling

    Import Microsoft Project .mpp files and view tasks and Gantt charts online.

  • Progress Simulation

    Simulate planned component construction with playback-speed control and date selection.

  • Progress Reporting

    Link daily quantities, photos and videos to work packages.

  • Actual Progress

    Review construction from reported data, distinguishing not-started, in-progress and completed work.

  • Visual Progress

    Show components completed by the selected date, identifying early, on-time and delayed work.

  • Progress Comparison

    Compare planned and actual completion dates to locate ongoing, late-completed and overdue components.

  • Progress Alerts

    Show alerts by configured delay levels to help review key milestones.

Construction Dashboard
Review Progress and Pending Tasks Together

View area progress, key milestones and coordination tasks, then select a work area to open models and construction records. BIM follows component progress while reality capture changes by survey date. Linked views depend on aligned coordinates, scope and dates, as well as platform version and project configuration. Simulation and capture dates are displayed separately; the latest capture is retained until new data is available.

  • Area Overview

    Navigate from the mine overview to processing plants, workshops and supporting works.

  • Visual Progress

    Show completed components and their status for the selected date.

  • Linked Reality Capture

    Switch reality captures by survey date alongside BIM progress, with data timestamps displayed.

  • Focused Progress Reports

    Reuse viewpoints, routes and scenes for stage coordination.

Construction Planning
Visualize Transport and Installation

Combine drawings, site roads and engineering models to show equipment delivery, crane positions and installation steps based on approved construction plans, supporting briefings and coordination.

  • Spatial Drawing Alignment

    Align general arrangements, pipelines and construction drawings with site coordinates where registration conditions allow.

  • Roads and Work Areas

    Show transport routes, temporary road closures and work zones to coordinate simultaneous operations.

  • Large Equipment Installation

    Sequence equipment movements, positions and installation steps for technical briefings.

Quality and Safety
Trace Inspections, Corrections and Verification

Organize inspections by area, discipline and work package. Link photos, responsibilities, feedback and verification results to specific locations.

  • Inspections and Acceptance

    Record inspection findings and collect approved acceptance documents.

  • Hazard Resolution

    Record risk controls, correction deadlines, feedback and verification outcomes.

  • Work Documentation

    Manage hazardous-work approvals, qualifications, training and briefing records through configured workflows.

Materials Management
Track Submissions, Arrivals and Acceptance

Organize requirements, submissions, dispatch and arrival information by material ID and batch. Link inspection documents to associated engineering components.

  • Delivery Status

    Review planned, dispatched, arrived and accepted materials.

  • Batch Traceability

    Retain specifications, quantities, units and inspection attachments.

  • Engineering Links

    Match materials to installation locations through IDs to support work planning.

Document Control
Consistent Versions and Orderly Reviews

Unify document directories, IDs and versions across owners, designers, contractors and equipment suppliers. Manage submission, review, approval and release, with approval, receipt and annotation methods configured for document formats and project workflows.

  • Directories and Permissions

    Organize documents by discipline, area, stage and file type.

  • Submissions and Transmittals

    Record document lists, versions, exchange dates and receipt status.

  • Reviews and Annotations

    Retain comments and replies on drawings and documents with supported previews.

  • Approval and Release

    Configure responsible steps, deadlines, revision returns and controlled distribution.

  • Version History

    Review revisions and distinguish drafts, review copies and released versions.

  • Object-Based Queries

    Open associated engineering documents from a 3D area, equipment item or component.

Digital Handover
Deliver Models and Asset Records Together

Collect models, equipment IDs, properties and documents during construction. Organize and review them against handover standards for asset queries and maintenance after commissioning.

  • Handover Standards

    Standardize class libraries, property groups, fields, units and document directories.

  • Equipment Documentation

    Collect parameters, drawings, manuals and installation records by equipment tag.

  • Concealed Works

    Preserve locations, imagery and records for underground utilities and concealed structures.

  • Transition to Operations

    Map equipment to measurement points in preparation for operating-data integration.
