Perform detailed structural analysis and highwall control

Gathering accurate data to assess highwalls is now safer, quicker and more reliable. Detect highwall failures and act fast based on precise point clouds and meshes of vertical walls that enable you to pinpoint rock movement. WingtraOne is the safest and quickest way to map the entire pit and generate reliable same-day data to this effect.
