Mining Surveys

Print this section

Mining surveying is used to establish surface location and boundaries of mining claims. During mining or tunneling operations, the mine survey helps to establish the location of the underground workings horizontally and vertically, to lay out shaft connections, and to guide the tunneling. This is three-dimensional traversing, not essentially different from surface surveying.
