Geospatial-based Mining Geometry Analysis to Improve Operational Efficiency of PT AMM Jobsite Mifa Bersaudara (2024)

Coal mining activities require the establishment of good and correct mine geometry to support effective and safe operations. However, many companies face challenges in ensuring that the geometry formed conforms to set standards. This research highlights the limited use of UAV technology in mine geometry optimization. This research aims to analyze geometry shaping at mine sites using geospatial data and raise awareness of the importance of good geometry in mining. The methods used include a combination of geographic information systems (GIS) and aerial surveys with UAVs. The mine geometry information was presented in map form to improve understanding of the geometry formation at each mine site. The results showed a 14% increase in geometry achievement, from 67% to 81%, after the application of the geospatial-based mine geometry information map. This reflects a significant increase in the formation of geometry in accordance with applicable rules. This finding shows the great potential of utilizing geospatial methods in the mining industry to improve the achievement of good geometry. In addition, this research can improve mine safety, the effectiveness of mine site inspections, and more organized repair planning, thus providing practical benefits to PT AMM's operations.
