Swyvl for Mining

Every scan, every survey, every site — one organised record.

Mining operations generate enormous volumes of spatial data across dozens of sites. Swyvl organises it all by location, makes it viewable in the browser, and delivers it to the right people without a Dropbox link in sight.

Your mine site data deserves better than a shared drive

You capture the data. Then it sits in a folder no one can navigate — or worse, a Dropbox link that expires.

Stockpile surveys sit in folders on a shared drive. No one can find last quarter's scan.

Survey data piles up in nested folders with inconsistent naming. Finding a specific capture from six months ago means asking whoever did it — if they still work there.

Every capture organised by site and date. Find any survey from any period in seconds.

Swyvl organises every upload by site location and capture date. The full survey history of any location is one click away — no folder archaeology required.

Your contractor sends a LAZ file. Your engineering team doesn't have CloudCompare.

Point cloud data reaches your engineers as a raw file they can't open. They raise an IT ticket. The IT ticket sits unresolved. Everyone waits.

Browser-based point cloud viewer. Your team opens the scan in Chrome. No software, no IT ticket.

Swyvl uses Potree WebGL to render LAS and LAZ files in any modern browser. Your engineers see the scan in 60 seconds — rotate, pan, zoom, no install required.

You have no audit trail of what data was delivered to which stakeholder and when.

Shared drive links and email attachments leave no record. When a regulator or auditor asks who received the data and when, you have nothing to show them.

Every portal view logged — who opened it, when, from where. Full compliance-grade audit trail.

Swyvl logs every portal access event — user, timestamp, device, IP, and download actions. Exportable. Retained for up to unlimited on Enterprise.

Built for mining operations

From stockpile volumes to geotechnical documentation — every use case covered.

Stockpile volume monitoring

Upload drone survey outputs after every volumetric flight. Compare captures across time. Deliver results to site managers via a single share link.

Pit progression tracking

Time-indexed point clouds of pit development. Each survey adds a layer to the site record — viewable side-by-side or independently.

Contractor delivery management

Surveyors upload direct to your workspace. You control access. Stakeholders get a browser link — no raw files, no software requirements.

Geotechnical documentation

LiDAR scans of highwalls, waste dumps, and underground headings. Stored with full metadata, shared with geotechs and engineers via secure portal.

Compliance and audit records

Immutable, time-stamped records of site condition at every survey date. Full audit trail. Regional data residency for compliance.

Multi-site visibility

All your sites in one workspace. Switch between operations, compare survey dates, and manage contractor access — from one dashboard.

Swyvl handles every format your surveyors produce

Upload it. Swyvl classifies it and picks the right viewer automatically.

LAS / LAZ (point clouds) E57 (terrestrial scanning) GeoTIFF / COG (orthomosaics, DTMs, DSMs) MP4 / MOV (drone video) OBJ / glTF / 3D Tiles (3D models) PDF (reports) DXF (CAD drawings)

Frequently asked questions

Everything mining teams ask before switching from shared drives.

What survey file formats does Swyvl support for mining?
LAS, LAZ, E57 (point clouds), GeoTIFF and COG (orthomosaics, elevation models), MP4 and MOV (drone video), OBJ and glTF (3D models), DXF (CAD), and PDF. Every format a mine surveyor typically delivers.
Can my engineering team view point clouds without specialist software?
Yes. Swyvl uses Potree WebGL to render LAS and LAZ files directly in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. No CloudCompare, no QGIS, no IT ticket required.
How does Swyvl handle multi-site mining operations?
Each physical location gets its own site in Swyvl. All sites live in your organisation's workspace. You can manage access per site, compare survey dates across sites, and control exactly who sees what.
Does Swyvl store data in Australia?
Yes. Australia (Sydney) is the default data region. All data is stored in Wasabi's ap-southeast-2 region. You can select from 8 global regions on every plan, set at signup, including US, UK, EU, and Canada.
Can external surveyors upload directly to our Swyvl workspace?
Yes. On Team and Enterprise plans, you can invite contractors as editor seats, or accept deliveries via API. All uploads are tracked with timestamp and user attribution.
Is there an audit trail of who accessed survey data?
Yes. Every portal view is logged — user, timestamp, browser, device, IP, and download events. The audit log is exportable and retained for 90 days (Solo), 1 year (Team), or unlimited (Enterprise).
