A Novel Approach to Shaft Plumbing

Mine Survey Plus was engaged by Philsaga Mining Corporation to provide mine survey services in relation to the E15 Shaft at the Co-O mine site in The Philippines. Mine Survey Plus took a novel approach to executing the scope across seven levels by utilising prisms on the plumb lines, a gyroscopic theodolite and least square adjustment for all observations.
