About Mining Surveys

Mining Surveys (UK) Ltd was formed in 1989 to provide a surveying and design service to the quarrying and landfill industries. With over 30 years' experience as deep mine/opencast surveyors in the coal industry, the Company has extensive surveying knowledge and remains at the forefront of surveying technology.

The company started out with two-man EDMs, progressed to robotic EDMs, GPS (both post processing and real-time VRS) and, as technology evolved, has invested in a 1.4km long-range terrestrial laser scanner, developed for specific non-contact survey work.

Our latest venture, Aerial Inspection and Mapping Surveys Ltd (AIMS Ltd), has four fully qualified and insured CAA pilots and carries out UAV surveys here and abroad, with tip surveys usually taking less than 10 minutes to fly. We are also enthusiastic users of LSS and LSS 3D Vision software, developed in consultation with us.
