EarthVision

Description

True three-dimensional modeling of both surface and sub-surface features, structure, stratigraphy, porosity, permeability, temperature, groundwater, contaminants, etc. Uniquely capable of handling complexly faulted situations. Rapid creation of cross-sections, fence diagrams, and base maps from 3D models and rapid detailed volumetric calculations.

Used for: spatial analysis, predictive modeling, and site characterization. Stunning interactive views of models give experts the means to communicate complex ideas to non-experts.

Used by: Geoscientists, hydrologists, and engineers who model/analyze spatial information such as overburden toxicity, water quality and quantity, geology, and topography, and those engaged in reclamation design and AOC evaluation.

Available for Windows, Linux, and UNIX.

Uses

• View any mine area as a three-dimensional model, then make changes to construct what-if scenarios.
• View approximate original contour designs in three-dimensions or plan view maps.
• Calculate accurate volumes of mine-pools, stockpiles, or even material in-place.
• Make a three-dimensional model of any material aspect of a site – Overburden quality, geology, acid/base potential, refuse fire temperatures, amount of selenium, etc.
• Coordinate conversion – Latitude Longitude, State Plane, UTM, etc.
• Produce maps and cross-sections based on borehole data with the most accurate extrapolation technology available.
  • Design and review post-mining topography -- AOC analysis.
  • Calculate coal reserves.
  • Model subsurface aquifers and piezometric levels.
  • Model underground contamination and pollution plumes.
