Mine rehabilitation compliance

Environmental condition assessment, from data capture to decision-ready reporting

GeoNadir integrates high-resolution geospatial data from drones, survey planes, Sentinel-2 satellite data, and other platforms to generate the geospatial evidence mining environmental teams need to directly support progressive rehabilitation compliance management and reporting.

The problem we solve

Rehabilitation compliance is harder than the documentation suggests

Mining rehabilitation areas are large, data are fragmented, and the workflows to turn drone, survey plane and satellite imagery into regulatory evidence are often missing. Environmental teams collect valuable data but lack the tools to extract meaningful insights, while AQP bottlenecks and reactive reporting create real compliance risk.

Coverage at scale

Hundreds of hectares and dozens of assessment zones that are too large for field inspection alone.

Ecologist bottlenecks

Accredited assessments are expensive, localised, and competitive for timing, creating costly delays.

Data without insight

Environmental teams collect valuable drone, aerial and field survey data but lack workflows to extract decision-ready outputs.

Compliance exposure

Delayed evidence and incomplete baselines increase regulatory risk. Issues found late are harder and more expensive to fix.

What we do

Monitoring and spatial data support across the rehabilitation lifecycle

Three services that work together or stand alone, depending on where your spatial data is today.

Environmental condition assessment

Quantitative spatial reporting aligned to your PRCP/RMP completion criteria.

  • Slope threshold exceedance
  • Vegetation cover and canopy assessment
  • Ground disturbance and bare ground mapping
  • GDE monitoring and vegetation trajectory
  • Weed detection

Spatial data management & support

We help environmental teams structure, store, and interrogate their spatial data so it becomes a usable operational asset.

  • Dataset organisation
  • Workflow design for ongoing acquisitions
  • Training on GeoNadir geospatial analysis tools
  • Data integration with other platforms such as ArcGIS

Aerial data processing and analysis

End-to-end processing of RGB, thermal and multispectral datasets from drones and survey planes, ready for layering with satellite and field survey data.

  • Orthomosaic, DSM, and DTM
  • Data capture guidance for your team
  • Data storage tools that make it easy to find historical data
  • Easy to use tools for analysis and data sharing

Reports & deliverables

Geospatial outputs your environmental team can act on

Four assessments, each aligned to the completion criteria in your plan. See all four together in one finished report below.

Vegetation cover

You told us this is the hard one

  • Cover assessment with bare ground patch mapping
  • Assessed against PRCP/RMP completion targets
  • Priority bare ground areas for intervention

Vegetation trajectory

You told us this is the hard one

  • Sentinel-2 NDVI/NDMI time-series from 2024
  • Vigour, moisture, and seasonality trends
  • Pathway comparison against target trajectory and analogue site/s

Slope exceedance and erosion

You told us this is the hard one

  • DTM-derived slope analysis (% threshold)
  • Site-wide exceedance statistics & distribution
  • Priority areas ranked for field verification

Weed detection

You told us this is the hard one

  • Broad area weed detection ready for field verification
  • Derived from RGB drone or survey plane mapping data
  • AI detection tools that learn from your inputs

Our process

From raw data to regulatory-ready outputs

  1. Capture

    We help you to define your data requirements and guide your team or contractor to ensure high quality data from the outset.

  2. Process & analyse

    We produce orthomosaics, DSMs, and DTMs, then complete geospatial analysis workflows across your datasets site-wide.

  3. Report & support

    We provide action-oriented reports with priority intervention sites, and help your team embed geospatial data into ongoing workflows.

Why GeoNadir

What makes our approach different

PRCP/RMP-aligned from the start

Our report structure maps directly to your completion criteria and regulatory requirements.

Wall-to-wall site coverage

Every assessment zone captured and processed simultaneously, not sub-sampled.

Decision-ready priority outputs

Ranked priority sites with clear recommendations, not raw data dumps.

Geospatial data capability building

We help your team develop the internal workflows and confidence to use geospatial data effectively long-term.

Complementary to your ecologists

We augment field teams with scalable geospatial intelligence, freeing up AQP time for high-value work.

Pilot program

Start with a 12-week pilot

Our structured pilot validates workflows against your site-specific rehabilitation management plan requirements before committing to an ongoing monitoring program.

  1. Reporting assessment

    We review all reporting requirements and relevant metrics in your rehabilitation management plan with you, to understand how geospatial data workflows can be best used.

  2. Geospatial data workflow review

    We assess how your team currently manages and uses spatial data to identify gaps and workflow improvements.

  3. Data capture guidance

    We recommend flight parameters for your team or external contractor to capture drone or survey plane mapping data over your rehabilitation areas.

  4. Geospatial analysis and reporting

    We deliver reports based on your rehabilitation management plan using your drone, survey plane, satellite and other geospatial data — vegetation health trends, slope exceedance and erosion risk, vegetation cover, weed hotspots.

  5. Review sessions

    Multiple touchpoints to review the work and inputs, evaluate the reports against your compliance requirements, and confirm ongoing scope and pricing.
