Caractérisation structurale à l’aide de la photogrammétrie : mine Kikialik, Nunavik, Québec

Digital photogrammetry was used to quantify the structural regime at Kikialik underground mine – Xstrata Nickel. This operation is located in the arctic region of Canada – where permafrost reaches 500 meters. The objective of this paper was to demonstrate that photogrammetry can be used routinely at...

Description
Summary:Digital photogrammetry was used to quantify the structural regime at Kikialik underground mine – Xstrata Nickel. This operation is located in the arctic region of Canada – where permafrost reaches 500 meters. The objective of this paper was to demonstrate that photogrammetry can be used routinely at this mining site to conduct structural mapping under difficult operational and climatic conditions. Photogrammetry can be well integrated to the geomechanical design workflow used at the mine. Simple practical field considerations are also provided
