Geology

VGSS offers a comprehensive range of geological services tailored to mining services, including geological interpretation and modelling, drill program design and implementation, database merging and cleaning, core logging, lidar enabled tablet mapping and sampling integration, cloud based data hosting implementation, field mapping and sampling, drill rig QAQC.

Geotechnical

While VGSS does not currently provide geotechnical analysis directly, we maintain strong partnerships with leading geotechnical specialists across Victoria. We are pleased to recommend trusted experts for all mining and quarry-related geotechnical assessments, ensuring your project benefits from the highest standards of technical expertise.

Mine Surveying

VGSS delivers precise surveying solutions for open pit, quarry, and underground mining operations. Leveraging in-house LiDAR technology, we can efficiently survey confined or difficult-to-access areas, providing detailed spatial data to support safe and effective mine planning and operations.

Volumetric

VGSS uses UAV-mounted LiDAR along with traditional survey equipment to quickly and accurately measure volumes of stockpiles, excavations, and other site features. Our drone technology allows us to capture data even in hard-to-reach areas, providing reliable volume calculations to support your project needs.

Vegetation Offset

Planning to expand waste dumps or quarries beyond approved work plans? VGSS employs advanced LiDAR technology to generate precise vegetation blueprints of proposed expansion areas, assisting with vegetation offset planning and regulatory compliance.

Earthmoving Support

VGSS conducts detailed feature and level surveys for earthmoving projects and supports the design and implementation of machine guidance files, ensuring your project stays on schedule and within design specifications.

Remote Campaign Capability

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and self-sufficient field equipment, VGSS is prepared to support remote mining campaigns anywhere in Australia. Our teams can operate independently and reliably for extended periods, delivering high-quality data even in the most challenging environments.

New to LiDAR? Discover Its Full Potential with VGSS

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a cutting-edge technology that captures highly detailed 3D spatial data using laser pulses. It’s revolutionising the way we measure, map, and manage the physical world — and at VGSS, we’re equipped to deliver LiDAR solutions from the air and the ground.

Whether mounted to a drone or operated by hand, our LiDAR systems enable rapid, high-accuracy data capture across a wide range of environments — including areas that are traditionally hard to access or unsafe for conventional surveying.

Why Choose LiDAR for Your Next Project?

  • Precision Point Clouds
    Generate high-resolution 3D datasets for modelling, volumetrics, terrain analysis, and design validation.

  • Access the Inaccessible
    Capture data from rugged, overgrown, or hazardous sites — safely and efficiently.

  • 3D Colourised Flythroughs
    Create immersive, colourised visualisations that bring your project to life for stakeholders and clients.

  • Digital Records Frozen in Time
    Preserve accurate "as-built" conditions or project milestones for audit, compliance, or future planning.

  • Handheld & Aerial Capability
    Our handheld LiDAR units are ideal for scanning interiors, tunnels, and confined spaces — complementing our UAV-based LiDAR for large-scale outdoor mapping.
