Cadastral-Topographic Mapping for Mining Infrastructure Development

Repeatable certified geospatial foundations for continuously evolving mining-infrastructure packages.

LocationSerbia / Bor area
ClientSerbia Zijin Mining DOO Bor
Framework period01.2024–01.2029
MapSoft roleDirect contractor responsible for preparing and professionally certifying cadastral-topographic plans on demand under a five-year framework.
Framework context

A five-year mapping framework built for continuously changing mining infrastructure

Instead of one fixed survey area, the framework supports successive infrastructure packages as they emerge. MapSoft combines official cadastral information with current terrain and imagery so each request can be turned into a professionally certified engineering base while preserving confidentiality and delivery discipline.

Scale and variability

The images below come from different framework activities and illustrate the breadth of acquisition and production methods. Technology is applied according to the needs of each assignment.

Data acquisition

Field control, UAV and airborne capability establish the current spatial base

Project visuals show GNSS control-point positioning, UAV preparation and UAV survey activity; the framework also includes airborne mapping. Together, they demonstrate multi-platform acquisition capacity for assignments with different scales and site conditions.

Terrain modelling

Dense elevation data become engineering terrain models that preserve mine-site morphology

TIN-based terrain views show how steep slopes, benches, access routes, channels and other terrain forms are represented as continuous engineering surfaces. Multiple locations are shown to prove repeatability across different site geometries rather than one isolated example.

Topographic production

Terrain, cadastral context and mapped features are compiled into design-ready topographic plans

The detailed plan extracts demonstrate dense contouring, breaklines, roads, hydrology, structures, spot heights and other engineering features. These are final-product proofs of the central framework task: converting current site conditions into usable cadastral-topographic documentation.

Topographic mapping over orthophoto - traceable source-to-product integration
From source to product

Orthophoto and topographic information remain visually traceable through the production chain

A combined orthophoto and vector/topographic view makes the transformation explicit. Current imagery provides the real-world surface context, while structured mapping converts that context into engineering information that can be used in design and permit-preparation workflows.

Certified delivery

Repeatable engineering-base products for successive mining-infrastructure packages

The framework gives the client a repeatable path for commissioning certified geospatial base documentation as new mining-infrastructure packages arise. The register shows recurring use across different facility sites and linear infrastructure types.

Quality and responsibility

Professional certification remains part of the delivery itself

Every plan is produced by qualified personnel with appropriate equipment and professionally certified by a licensed surveying engineer. Plans are produced at 1:500 scale and carry a stamp and certification. All 25 assignments were delivered and accepted.

Why this project matters

Long-term certified mapping capacity for changing industrial infrastructure needs.

This framework shows MapSoft can support a major mining operator through sustained direct contractual delivery of certified cadastral-topographic products across changing infrastructure needs, while preserving professional certification, recurring delivery discipline and confidentiality.
